Re: Rebuilding TC5560

Good day

Q1) Do you fit piping between the running board and the tub?

Q2) Where are these wedges fitted on the TC? got them with the car and looks like it could be used to level the running boards but I only got 4 and the running boards have 3 tabs each.

Re: Rebuilding TC5560

Appreciated. I take it it just get a few nails to keep it in place as every other rubber gets nailed to the car. :lol: Funny thing is I did not replace the A Post wood so think it is original and there are no recesses for the rubbers. Lots of nail marks. But there were no buffers when I got the car....

Re: Bonnet (hood) Fitting

No idea about ligning up. Never paid any attention to it when the car was assembled and now it is all in pieces.

Have you got your scuttle/bonnet rubber fitted?

Re: Bonnet (hood) Fitting

Shout if there are any specific measurements you need. My hood is not fitted at the moment and it will be some time before I get there, but scuttle and grill is fitted because I had to make the stays for the radiator.

Re: Rebuilding TC5560

Do not remember anymore whose car this is but he did a stellar job with his wheel arches.

Perhaps he can describe the process he used.

I cut them just to the right size but once finished there was still some cleaning up to da as you can see in the last piece right at the bottom that i left for this morni...
