Hi all,

Does anyone have a low mile or very original S1 with the jack and everything in the boot on the NS - that can take a photo of what is included and how it all goes together?

I am just trying to workout if I have anything missing, as the strap seems a little bigger than required for just a jack and the centre nut tool that slots behind it..

It seems a lot of cars I have seen contain a can of tyre weld or similar wedged in under the strap or with elastic bands, but I don't think that was how they came from the factory.

Thanks!

It was

Nick. THe gloop can will be out of date the holts version fits exactly the same size. the long breaker bar clips on the rear panel on the bottom of the carpet I also cable tied the very importanr allan key for the Oz's to the bar. There is a void on the opposite side of the jack you can keep some bits in some were carpeted over though...

My GTN comes complete with the can of foam held in with the socket and jack etc. I use Ride-on TPS though in all my tyres, both cars and bikes so the foam is not required.

Yes as original the jack and wheel nut are held in. I don't think the the tyre weld was ever held in there. My strap is tight to hold in the jack and wheel nut - I guess they stretch over time. I had to refix the strap last year as the screw worked loose.

Hi Shooter,

Apologies for the thread-drift; I am interested in the "Ride-on" product and whether you have used any similar ones EG Bike-Seal or Goop? I've used both of these for many years in my cars and bikes although Bike-Seal just seems to be a much more expensive version of Goop. Keen to know if you have used others and found any differences that have swayed you to Ride-on?

I haven’t used any others. The reason I use Ride-on is that it doesn’t react with untreated aluminium. A lot of motorbike wheels inside are untreated and some products are less friendly!

The problem is Ride-on isn’t sold any more in UK. There was a distributor for a while. I have always got mine when in the US. They have different formulas for different applications. Truck/ bus, Car, motorbike etc.

It works in inner tubes too and it cleans out easily when changing tyres.

Thanks for the pointer to ship7 that will be very helpful for a few things.

Thanks everyone, sorry for the lazy reply I have been away and then back to mayhem so completely forgot!



Thanks Si sounds like it is all pretty standard then.

Ah that might explain why the strap is a little longer than required.




I have replaced the gloop with holts already, as you are right it was well out of date!
Interesting on the allen key, guessing that was just a random key thrown in with the recall rather than a nice branded Morgan one?



I was searching for a pic of your boot funnily enough, I thought if anyone has a standard Aero boot it will be your GTN! I couldn't find one that showed that though. Interesting, will take a look at ride-on as well.
