Check the installation location, existing markings, fittings and any additional parts required, where these details are relevant to the component.

What if my classic car has been modified or repaired before?

Use the parts actually installed as your reference. Previous repairs or modifications may mean the original equipment details no longer match.

What can I do if I am unsure about the fit?

Prepare the vehicle details, photos and measurements or part numbers when available. Confirm compatibility before ordering and use qualified help for safety-critical work.
