I’m trying to work out the pipe between the clutch master and flexi hose on my v8 RRC. I was going to use copper brake pipe and standard fittings, but the 10mm male fitting into the master and female on to the end of the clutch flex don’t fit, so assuming they’re 12mm fittings? Also I can’t see a gasket fitting behind the clutch master to the bulkhead on the JLR classic parts site, but it looks like it needs one?? Any thoughts appreciated!! Jon

I bought my 2dr VM through leboncoin in 2019 from near Lyon (so very little rust) for EUR1000 and paid £1000 for a transporter to pick the car up and deliver to my door. Good thing about leboncoin is there is a map on the listing so you can see where in France you’re buying from. I communicated with the owner via email and he put the carte gris in the car. Now we’ve left the EU I’m not sure what the situation re situation re import taxes is tho.

That’s v useful - thanks again. Have enjoyed reading your ambulance thread!

Thanks both, that is very useful. I’m glad they’re minor probs....I’m converting a LHD VM LT77 to a RHD 4.6 R380 and each step throws up an issue to puzzle over....lots of probs add up and you have to make sure you break them back down so you don’t get fed up with it all!! Most you can sort, but some best to ask. Using Nigel’s Megasquirt gems kit, he recommends Ford coil packs. He’s a busy man though, so been trying to get hold of him to make sure I order all the rights bits.

Hi all - I’m someone else trying to plumb up a standard 4.6 gems (with megasquirt) into a RRC...and hitting some issues... The standard oil filter location isn’t going to work - is the best option to use a remote oil filter. I see mocal do a complete kit. There are also issues with the coll packs (mounted on a bar at the rear of the engine) being in the way of the heater matrix water pipers. Presume Ford G1 coil packs are the answer? I understand the PAS pipework might be a problem as well? Any tips from anyone who’s done an instillation gratefully received. thx
