Sj sports cars
I've spend a lot of money with SJ and generally very happy with their service and response. Sometimes you get a submitted for quotation email but that is normally resolved very quickly. I have been less than impressed with the quality of some of the "plastic" parts - rear light surrounds and b post finishers, front bumper - which needed loads of fettling to fit properly . And don't mention the delaminating bonnet that is being repainted as we speak having been stuck back together , only God knows what that's costing . But getting something that is nearly right and can be made to fit is better than nothing ( anyone got an s2 windscreen wiper arm ( not the bladed rubber bit) Lotusbits may be a good source for the OP as they like Elite's

JPS Project
Brief update - done about 100 miles and everything has been running as it should . Unfortunately I've had problems with the paint and the SJ bonnet - so it is in a body shop seeing what needs to be done . Then I have a few small jobs to finalise. I went to 2 different car meetings and the only thing people seemed interested in was why the body moulding rubber wasn't fitted yet - quite depressing really, after 4 years work . Ho Hum .

837G Restoration Carpets - How
You appear to be a piece short - the bit that goes around the wheel arch - it has a rubber insert ( like the floor mat does ) on mine.( part 5 in the manual above ) The fully trimmed rectangular piece goes under the seat. The piece top left in your picture goes behind the pedals . I think the middle bottom piece , a bit of piping, 2 semi circles and 2 square cut outs is for the other side ( passenger side) behind the seat - part 14 in the manual above - but it does seem an odd shape compared to what i remember ....particularly the square cut-outs ... HTH - I found the carpeting quite satisfying once I'd figured out what goes where .... Actually , looking again , the piece you have with the rubber insert , place on the floor under the pedals in pic 2 , is the piece that goes round the wheel arch with the rubber element vertical and the circular cutout mating to the inside of the cill cover . You are missing piece 2 from the manual .

S2 ESprit Wiper arm
Doesn't seem anyone has a wiper arm for an s2 in stock - SJ remanufacture but no stock. Looking through the internet, the Triumph TR7 arm looks very very similar - anyone know if they are interchangeable.
