Thanks Rohan

The Pin is the one that goes through the middle selector rail. When i removed the selector rail i had to turn it through 90° pullback and i didn't see it fall out.

TBG,
there is a little spring loaded pin you need to push in carefully. Then it will come off if your not too clumsy lol.
You can get a new one from rimmer bros "triumph herald".
I bought one for my Sprint. The icon is a little different but only an anorak will notice.

[quote="TBG"]Some clumsy french mechanic has bust the knob on my pull out light switch. I can mend it but how do you get it off the rod? Very simple clear instructions needed as, as Tim will confirm, I am very old!! D[/quote]
Not so old that you can't get into your Elan, though!

Today picked up the now metal sprayed stub axle. NZ$220. Interestingly my records show the same company did the other side in 1986, for NZ$50...!
Whilst waiting I fitted a new hood, and hood cover.
If I was charging I'd charge 3 times as much for fitting the cover.

Stub axle back into hub and new bearings into both rear hubs.
Diff back in, everything reconnected followed by a successful test drive.
Hopefully a trouble free WOF, ( MOT ), tomorrow morning.
And then ready for Summer !

Hi
Congratulations. Looks like a really fun car.
You took a delivery, and I delivered a chassis out from under my recently purchased "for total restoration" plus 2s.
All the best
Berni
