My new middle seat or open to ideas

[Tintop]

Vintage 1950s car baby seat , apart from binning it what would u use it for in ur van

 

[Panky]

A bit flimsy for a middle seat but I guess it could be recycled as a kids camping chair

 

[OnTheRoadAgain]

Is that storm damage that meant it's ended up hanging from a tree...

I meant just as a display for middle seat my van middle seat back is one long piece right across the back and two seat bases either side , It hangs over the seat back , I will simpiteculy restore it and hang it in the middle of the 2 seat bases were engine lid is and use it as a tea table , I had a mental image of me trying to get into it when I read your comment, lol , I will have to lay of the goodies after my dinner for a while thou ,lol

That sounds like a good idea, very original.

Just double checking , are NGK BP6ES SPARK PLUGS , the right ones for my 1500petrol engine van or can u recommend a better option

 

[Panky]

NGK are about the best. Originally they used Champion N9Y but they can be a bit sketchy these days.

There were a few different types of distributors fitted so I can't say for sure, it's probably a Lucas 25 or 45, check out the differences in the manual. I would recommend getting in touch with the Distributor Doctor and asking his advice. Not cheap but you know your getting decent quality items that last.

Thanks panky , I actually bought a new distributor when I first got the van thinking it was broke , brass dust in the distributor, thought it was wobbling , it turned out to be the wrong rotor on it , before i bought the new one i checked on here and the manual, it said the 25d so I bought one , it doesnt fit , i even sent photos , anyway it wouldnt fit so i put old one back in and discovered it was just the rotor , still have the new one somewhere , I will check out the distributor doctor , thanks mate
