Don't know. Maybe you can me what I should be after.

Sparco 1 piece bucket seats.
Perfect condition except for a tiny tear on one side.
Looks like http://www.sparcousa.com/pseats_comp.asp?id=93, except black.
Seat mounts to suit 60s mini, without mods.
Racing approved design.

It Continues...

The current issue is the brakes. The handbrake didn't work at all when I got it, and after a short time had a tempory fix, but it still isn't very strong and after a trip round the block resulted in one very, very, very hot drum and one very cold one on the back. That tells me a pad is rubbing while the car is driving, and the other isn't doing jack.


I also had a "hot drum issue" and after screwing around trying to figure out a fix it found that the Handbrack cable holder swivel thingo on the trailing arm was siezed! This allowed me to put on the handbrake, but when I took it off in the car it was still applied on the rear wheel. So yeah, whip it out and lube it up if you reckon it could be the thing to blame..Hope that helps..

You did makka, and that helped a lot, but there's still a bit to be done through the whole cable system.

On the rear drums where the handbrake cable connects to a bar in the drum, mine face opposite directions. Is one wrong?
