Can anybody recommend some decent drive shaft boots for a late bay? I’m sick of changing mine almost every year because they drop to bits. I’d love to get urethane one’s if I could nd any.

Just Kampers sell them as a set with ttings for £24.95.

Hello all, was wondering if anyone has a “classic style” modern stereo system and if so do you recommend it. I can only nd some cheap looking things on eBay (Caliber) and these (see photo) which are quite
expensive so wanted to be sure before paying out >£250. Any help/opinion will be greatly appreciated.

I have a RetroSound in my bay and it works ne. Just be aware that you have to set the region, mine came with USA as default and didn’t work so well until I changed it. Another thing that a ects the radio is a poor antenna, worth checking and cleaning connections.

Just wondering if anyone has had Litesteer tted - if so, what do you think? I’m considering it but would love to hear from anyone who’s had it done.
Phil Aldridge Replied
We have one tted on Bluebell. It’s an excellent piece of kit and unobtrusive. The only real di erence is the motor tted to the steering column but it’s out of the way. Very highly recommended and excellent after sales service. Unless you’re mechanically/ electrically minded I would recommend that you also have them t it for you. It made a great di erence to manoeuvrability in tight spaces.

I have had my Litesteer for six years and it is great. It is now like driving a car, parking is easy. It is based on the electric steering from a Vauxhall Corsa, so all parts are General Motors. Neil from Litesteer is a great guy and will give you all the help you need.
