RN Sliding roof caps and adv. ret. throttle grub screws...

I am struggling to source:

1. RN sliding roof end caps (they stop the roof from coming all the way off).

2. The little hollow grub-screws, springs and v-clamps that go inside the control levers (adv./ret. & throttle).

I have bought these new in the past but cannot remember where from, anyone know please??

Thank you both. Tony - email on its way to you.

The last sliding roof end caps I bought were cast aluminium, I think...

Re: RN Sliding roof caps and adv. ret. throttle grub screws...

I bought a pair some years ago from John Barlow, which needed a bit of fettling to finish them. I think they were brass.

Thank you Jon.

I bought some cast Sliding roof stops from John Barlow some time ago. I also seem to remember that some ABS ones were available from either Geoff Roe or Dave Mann, the latter who could probably advise you definitely.

Re: RN Sliding roof caps and adv. ret. throttle grub screws...

I had some Plastic vac formed ones from, I think Geoff Roe. Remember that there are a pair of steel blocks fixed to the roof which are threaded for the screws to hold the caps on. About 3/4 square and 3/16th thich. Mine were missing

Thank you Pete and Andy.

Luckily the threaded blocks still exist on the car I need the caps for.
