I have ordered from Rimmer's twice. the parts were here in about 5 business days. No problems with customs. Sometimes when order from overseas there is a customs duty that gets charged separately. I

What about replacing those hard to find rubber bumpers.. with the earlier chrome US spec bumpers? Say 1973/74 vintage (smaller overiders) I've yet to actually witness a car with the rubber bumpers s

Hi Tom, Just a thought on adding that extra thickness. Keep in mind that the latch bolts to the bonnet directly, anything you add in that area to stiffen it up will force the edge of the bonnet out b

Tom, Brad etal. Make no mistakes. The stress fractures commonly found along the bonnet latches are not from any sort of vibration. They are caused by using the bonnet latches as handles to raise and

Many (perhaps most) Spits, Heralds, etc., with this latch have some thickness of paper shim behind the catch on the side of the bulkhead. If the extra reinforcing metal behind the latch were to affec

I'am sorry but I must disagree with Joe on the source of cracks around the bonnet latches. I have owned my GT6 since 1976 and have alwise used the bonnet latches for opening the bonnet and I don't ha

Maybe I'm just accustomed to being a mediator, but I have to believe that BOTH are sources of the cracking. My GT6 came with cracks (as did my prior GT6), and when I installed new rubber cones, it be
