Hi Pete ,
The drawing is great.
The fuel pipes are still fitted, including the fuel pipe adaptor, and they run to the correct place in the engine bay.
Do you know what pressure the pump should deliver, or what the pressure should be delivered to the carb?
I do have the rear wiper motor but not the washer jet, and the rubber cover over the spindle has perished. I don't have the cover for the wiper inside the car but I should be able to fabricate one of those.
Thanks everyone so far please keep the information coming.
Martin

Hi Martin,

I managed to get a single leather seat which came out of a jap import and this is what i used to make a pair of seat frames from metro seats, modified the foam and had "newtrim" in oxford dismantle the original seat, make patterns, make two covers in full leather and re assemble the original.

I did ask the guy at new trim to keep the pattern as i would pass on any enquiries so hopefully might be able to help. www.newtrim.co.uk

I have patterns for the rear seat cross members too.
I'll dig them out and send you a copy.

Washer jet for rear and motor spindle rubber are metro, Pump pressure should be about 4-5 psi after the regulator.

I bought one of these a few weeks ago for my ERA and it seems to do the job fine if you need a fuel pump.

I took the car to the body shop http://www.poollaneclassics.co.uk/ on Friday 24th June. Mark, my contact there thought it wouldn't cause them too much trouble to get back into pristine condition. The biggest problem I think is the body kit. The rubber seal is the stumbling block as the other thread on the forum is showing. I hope to have a few photos of the progress at the body shop to post shortly.

I went to the body shop today to take a couple of parts in and to check on progress. A couple of photos attached. Note the very nice Austin Healy 3000 in the background.
