I see your in Tamworth and i understand Nick at Austin Garages burton on trent is also a good place to go to.


As regards Rock auto i was amazed how quick it took to get something. I ordered a MAF sensor on a Wednesday i think, i opted to go for delivery with all import duties already paid upfront and was told it may take about a week for delivery. It arrived on the Saturday.
There is a lot of information and very knowledgeable people on the Two Sixties web site. A lot of people think why do you need a separate web site and have criticised them thinking they think they are better than 75 owners. That's not true it boils down to preservation of these cars. They may share a 75 Bodyshell but that's about where it ends they are a different beast. The two sixties have done a lot to try and obtain certain parts in the past such as shocks and struts.
If the clutch feels heavy thats normal. I hope you enjoy your new purchase.

Clutch should not feel heavy at all. Mine has been light for 9 years now and last year I changed the clutch as the slave was leaking. If you have a heavy clutch you should change the flexy pipes as they can collapse internally. There's only one pipe so the clutch shouldn't feel heavy

Thanks for setting the record straight Jeff (I'm not been sarcastic and quite happy to be corrected when I'm wrong) . I honestly thought it was a common thing i had heard owners say. At least i know for future.
I'm going to use the excuse I've never driven a manual 260.

Not a problem, I helped a guy on a Facebook page who slave cylinder kept popping due to it's heavy clutch. Once he changed the flexy pipe it was lovely and light.
I do many say their 260's clutch are heavy but I've never had that so it is a common thought. If they would only change the flexy pipe it would be better
