Hi mate. I haven't been on here in ages. I didn't realise someone asked my something This Horn piece you need, is it in the middle of the Steering Wheel? My car has been dead since I got it so I haven't heard the Horn. But the part is in perfect condition. I was with the car last night checking out what it needs. I'm not sure yet what I am defo gona do with the car in the end so I don't want to make any decisions yet but if I'm not using it I'll let you know.

Since last nights exploration of my A I know now that it is the 'Super' adition (Well according to a badge on the boot lid it is anyway). I think they had 48bhp compared to 40bhp of the normal A.

I also know now why the front right side wheel sits in at the bottum like the back wheels of a Fiat 500. The steering rack is Bent like........something that is bent really bad When one wheel is straight the other is turned in too. I was hoping to put my A on the road before Christmas but now I don't know.

I was checking out whether it can be converted to RHD too but it looks doubtfull. The foot wells are different on either side. I think the LHS foot well goes deeper than the RHS foot well. Very little room for pedals, brake cylinder and steering column on the RHS.

I also need a new 6v battery cause converting it to 12v will take quite some time I think. A job for later on I think.

Is there anyway of changing the wheel nut studs on the A cause they are very short? I've seen A's with different wheels on but I think it would need longer studs to do that.

Can the front drum brakes be changed for Discs from say a Kadett C?

And I hate leaf springs. They're no fun

I took some pics last night. I'll throw them up later.
