Thanks for the vid, all stuff I now need to be doing in the next few months. Still working on getting the exterior of the engine cleaned up / repainted etc on the 13/60, so lots to do. Keep it up.
Thanks! As is often the case on these cars the parts are fascinatingly simple bits of kit, I was quite surprised the water valve ‘just’ went back together.
Thanks Oliver! Do you happen to have the original seats and runners in / for your car? If so I'd be really grateful for some good photos with a ruler for scale (I may or may not have the correct ones so a comparison would be very helpful!)
@@redfoxclassics That's a timely question: the TSSC have just confirmed that it is not a CKD, but imported direct from Coventry. It's had a 2000 gearbox put in and a Herald diff (hard to get spares in NZ in the 1980s). PYE speakers in the side trim at the back (NZ had it's own PYE factory, but could be UK). A bit of repair to trim at some point (using different grain). I laid it up in 1999 and am slowly recommissioning it.
Sorry for the delay, but all my replies with links to seat photos seem to have failed :-( The seats are reclining low-back, non-headrest ones with thigh bolsters on both sides of both seats. The fluting is horizontal using a hexagonal basket-weave embossed pattern vinyl. The holes in the runners are about 38.5 x 33.2cm, with comfortable tolerances for the 1/4" bolts 🙂

Another great video. Nice to see the zinc plating links
Thanks Henry, reminded me I meant to link the plating kit, done that now!
Thank you for these videos , learning loads and enjoyable to watch. Richeee
Well, I’m glad they’re useful and appreciate you saying so!

Great videos. This is the first series I've found on a Mk2, same as mine. It's fantastic to see the exact same parts being fixed! 🙂

@@redfoxclassics I've got the driver's seat. The weather is rotten here just now (Akaroa, NZ) but I'll get you some photos & measurements soon :-)
Awesome, thank you! Do you know the history of your car? I’ve heard recently that NZ might’ve built CKD GT6es? (The Australian plant did not).
