"Hi Peter,
I did not know about the lip in the foam on some of the seats and that they are available. I hope you can find them on line. You are right about the springs; they are as old as ours. I have never seen…"
"Hi Dennis,
Thanks for that.
My upholsterer has said because my foam is molded with a lip it is difficult to cut new foam to shape and fit and he will not do it. He says he has seen on-line companies that sell pre-shaped molded foam, so I'm…"
"Hi Peter,
I plan to pull all my seats this upcoming winter and have them reupholstered with the original fabric. The upholsterer will take them to his shop and is redoing all the foam and the upholstery. He does top…"

You should see a rubber plug over on left driver side even if not used. It is just another option for running wires, etc into the cabin. See oval plug/grommet…"

I have found the ACC fuse terminal on the side of the box and although it is being used I can tap into that ok. See attached picture.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
