The SDF have been helpful to us in the past and may do in the future and I sincerely thank them for all their hard work, its one of the great benefits of the TR Register, sadly some do not think so.
The SDF do sterling work with cylinder heads, crankshafts, and other irreplaceables, but there is positive news elsewhere.
Recently the situation with our favourite hate (rubber products) has improved considerably. Folk like superpro
produce almost all of the bushes and seals we use in modern plastic.
It's also possible to get fuel, oil, brake and vacuum hoses imprinted with the appropriate specification number
which keeps the Mot man happy, as long as you use the correct clips.
Modern silicone hoses have eliminated all my water leaks.
Now some of this stuff comes in fairground colours and won't satisfy the originality police, but it works, and you don't have to replace it every year.
