 Dear all

I don't usually recommend or plug any supplier but I think the work done by Pete Bahr (yelowdog on this forum) is perhaps a little different - he deals with those common but annoying problems that many others can't or won't.

Over the years here's a sample of 'stuff' I've got from Pete:
  1. Engine damper for the Mk 1 - has reduced vibration and shake considerably. My old one was clapped out;
  2. Hood (bonnet!) gas struts for the GT - I got sick of banging my head on the hood catch, and the developing kink in the bonnet every time someone worked on the car. Pete's solution works perfectly;
  3. 5 speed gearbox shifter linkages - I have just got my rebuilt 5 speed shifter back from Pete and it has really made a difference. I can now tell the difference between neutral and any other gear; and
  4. The clutch lever grommet.
The products/solutions are designed for Jensen cars, but (for me anyway) just as importantly, come with easy to follow and understand instructions so that you can pretty well do the job yourself. Very handy for a mechanical numbnut like me, and adds to the enjoyment of keeping an old car on the road.

Well done Pete, and thanks again.
