I have had a better look at the sump and it has turned to powder in a few place and leaking oil
the car has been stood outside and unused since 1977!

Are this front discs listed for the rapier or are these from another period car that will fit?
Are they vented, slotted,... ?
Just interested..

Hi Andy, club has CMC/CSC/BMC, but I was in Banbury last week and not around there for a few weeks. I could find next visit?
I'll send off those H120 badges and try to put a week into diary for packing up and making available the bootlid. Life has been hectic this last few weeks; sorry  . G. PS: I'm sure I can get that catch for G'box for you too! |

Hi Thomas
The ebc parts came from http://www.camskill.co.uk/ who are ebc dealers
The discs are part number do33
And the pads dp2161
I have used them before for tyres and are reliable
The cost was £135.00 inc vat delivered in the uk
I have used green stuff in the past for competition but for a road car ebc ultimax would be fine as they are a lot cheaper !
I went through the many boxes of spares I got with the car and found a lot of non rapier parts and after a rummage I have found a glove box lid catch and a clutch master cylinder and several parts that I thought where missing which I have bought via eBay lol
Expecting the car to be ready (roll cage fitting) before weekend will post up some pics when it's back for those interested
Parts arrived include some new 4 point rally harnesses and mounting eyes
Some more spare gaskets and a rally trip meter !
