I have picked up the sealey kit, yet to use it but quality seems good

Fitted a 172 starter and heatshield to my Valver. Is a nice upgrade. Starts way better

Nissens Radiators are pretty cheap if yours is looking a bit worse for wear

That's a cup spoiler mate so super hard to find. Typical as I just sold 2 which I had for ages

Cup or standard 172?

What are peoples using for toolboxes. I'm fed up of everything getting chucked in a box and not being able to find anything Something not too bulky that I can just chuck in the boot if the car Pics and links appreciated (nothing silly expensive) 🙂

Spending money on GUF is your favourite

Axle stands up front on the chasis rails. I try using the rear axle mounting point for stands then or just the beam as there isn't much weight over the rear of the car anyway

I jack on these bolts rather than risk damaging the subframe

I use one of those hockey puck tools on my 172 but wouldn't use it in my mk1 At the front you can jack on the chasis rail or the rear subframe bolts To the rear I jack the car up on the rear beam where the torsion bars go through the trailing arms

Have had a Google but cant see any guides. Has anyone worked on one?

Got powerflex purple on mine

Just a follow up to this, 3 years later iv finally done the belt and these are the correct fit Reference number IJS Group 17-1033
