New member Chesterfield Derbyshire.

Post by JohnP » Sun Jun 05, 2016 11:30 am

Hello to all RSR members. I have just joined the Forum and will need help and advice to restore my fathers (now mine)1939 14 P2 Sports saloon.
This car although roadworthy has had a few dubious repairs in the past and is in need of some TLC.
Can anyone recommend where i can get new sills put on as the old ones do not allow the door bottoms to line up 3/4'' gap.
Local suppliers of tyres 5.25 / 5.50 - 17.
And lastly what modern equivalent oil do i use to top up the shock absorbers as the manual says Armstrong super shock absorber oil.
Thanks in advance John

He is also currently making replacement running boards if you need them.

Nort Hants tyres who are in Aldershot will give Rover Sports Register members a 10% discount. The correct oil these days is Penrite shock absober oil no 2 or heavy SAE 20 fork oil.

Hope this helps
