Hello, all, great to be part of this group.
I'm working to get my fathers old +8 back on the road in the near future. It' s a 1990 +8 3.9 non-cat car, that needs attention to the usual items that wear or rust away, exhaust, brakes, tyres, clutch, etc to make sure it can be MOT'ed so any advice on topics below would be a help.
1. Tyres - current tyres are 27 years old! Perhaps good to replace them :-) now! Size 205/60/15 on alloy rims. What's good replacement option?
2. Exhaust - holed in the down pipe before the first box and cannot source replacement part. So looking at replacing system with a custom built stainless, single box and 4 exit pipes, like a modern +8 - advice, thoughts?
3. Need to replace or modify the clutch slave - where can i get the steel sleeve option done as suggested in 'GOMOG' ?
Many thanks - need all the help I can get :-)!!

Hello Jeremy, can't answer any of your question though I'm sure someone will come along soon who can. Just thought I'd say hello and welcome to the madhouse!

For item 3, Google "stainless steel sleeving of brake cylinders" or something similar and you will find a number of possible suppliers.

Welcome to TM. Try Librands for item 2 - I have a dual system on my Plus8 and it sounds great. https://www.librands.co.uk/products-category-26.html

Welcome from down-under.
Harper's might be able to help with the exhaust.
