Hi Derek, welcome to the forum from Truro. Only 70k miles? It's just about run in. It looks a lovely car

Depending on how much glue and where it's been applied then that may cause issues!

This is the process for stripping them down.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Do you fancy coming to the South Downs Cruise? If so ask @pgunter to add you to the list.

They don't turn, I used hard and fast to fix them, had to cut the wires and resolder and heat shrink them. Whole job cost £40 including the spraying. well pleased with the spraying
