Hi All,

I have just purchase some parts from Mike Satur (Who were of great help - strongly recommend). I have gone for basics to start, a chrome gearstick and handbrake lever. Does anyone know how to get the existing one off. I dont want to damage anything so any help would be great.

Thanks

Neil

Neil,

I think Mike usually sends pretty good instructions with all his parts.

Neil,

The original handbrake lever just pulls off (towards the front of the car). Mine needed a good yank (as they say). The gearknob depends which kind you have - most just unscrew.

Thanks Paul, I think I will just wait for the parts to come through.

I am also debating what stereo and speakers to put in the car. I basically want a fairly decent CD player with some good component speakers. Any recommendations?

Loads of info in archives.

It's all down to how much money you want to spend.

I've gone for infinity speakers for the doors, and the standard Rover speakers in the t-bar.

Sound is amazing compared to original setup.

I just went for this setup as it was an easy option.

A guy stopped me in the street yesterday and gave me a spare gear change knob and steering wheel from an MGF. If any one wants them for free then let me know.

In addition to the audio system I want to stick some 6x9" speakers in the T Bar (I think like the mark 2, I currently have a 1996)

Does anyone know the tech side of fitting these? Would a car audio centre be skilled enough to get in there?

Thanks
Neil

Easy way and difficult way.

Easy way is to buy a Mk2 T Bar and just swap them over. Hard way is to cut holes in your one and fiddle around until you are happy with the result. I know of one person who went for the harder option and expressed a view afterward that all in, the cost of necessary parts and time spent doing the job works out at around the same as buying a Mk2 T Bar!

Personally, any job that entails cutting large holes int he trim of the car is not something i would entrust to Joe Shmoe's Audio. :-)
