For those that were interested in the door openers previous, here are a couple of pictures of the cheap import opener (£4.99) mounted on the original mechanism. Small semicircle removed to accept shape of unit, original mounting holes OK

Cheers Trev...mine arrived a couple of days ago...now I can get my door working.
Eddie.

nice find and modification, good job and at that price you can afford to have a pair lying on the shelf

Back in .
All rot gone ,new bushes,arb hangers,engine mounts and fixings ,refurbished brakes all round,gear linkage bush and subframe and wishbones refurbed ..
Got to fit rack gator ,bleed hyd and fill with vitals then MOT .Should be ready for collection when Trev gets back from his jollydays .

Clee!!
Looks great from down here in Menorca! Great job! Hope MOT will be OK ..... in contact next week

Close but no cigar .....Main brake line to rear needs replacing ,one rear caliper is not playing nice ,handbrake ,and a plate bulb .......+ rad fan seized .
No biggies ,found a good old fan and managed to swap without removing the front end .......Brake line to do and reset rears .
