75ZT Community

Today I ventured to near Uttoxeter to look at a bonnet that someone was selling who breaks 75s / ZTs. What a very nice chap. I decided that it was best to fit it and bring the old one home on the roof bars - and he even helped me fit it.

He told me that cars are being written off for minor matters - one was a Tourer with a broken tailgate glass - no question of fitting a used on, just write it off.

This morning he had been to York to collect a car and this afternoon to Crewe for another.

He sells on eBay:

A very happy customer

Probably best in the main forum, it'll get max coverage there. I'll leave a shadow post here as well.

I've seen his adverts on ebay, and been tempted many times. He's almost on my way home from work too! Trouble is I can see my wallet emptying and my garage filling, very fast!

I have just bought a Mk2 boot plinth from him and waiting for delivery, it has the number plate light PCB (Printed Circuit Board) with it and all fastenings are in place, all for £18 delivered which is a fantastic price.

Mine needs soldering but the nuts are spinning round on the bolts and I am likely to damage it taking it off the car so wanted another in hand just in case

Nice chap was introduced to him by Tom (Organiser) about a year ago good items at good prices as my thumbs up

Hi Rob.
The ones on mine and Stefs car where tight too and I thought at first that they would spin but they moved in the end, sprayed a bit of plus gas onto them




checked the lights worked before re-fitting thanks Mr D

had the innner fixings spin on one i removed from a car.trouble was the car in question was on top of another and i was sitting in the boot.grabbed the end of the bolts with pliers managed to get the nuts to turn .when they are past the rusty section which tends to be at the base they came off ok.close examination revealed the plastic had spilt allowing the fixings to spin.fixings stuck back with two part expoxy resin bolts barmed in copper grease.still ok after six months and stood up to be removed to replace the pcb which failed two weeks ago
