I've just been speaking to Ralph tonight and I said I would put a post on our site and take orders. I've ordered some for myself and David M. There are other little goodies which may come in the future!
Have you fitted yours yet, Rich, I imagined it's a bit warmer in Devon!

Hi Alan,
Not fitted them as yet, it was -3 in the daylight today and I'm pretty much working wall to wall at the moment so daylight hours are spent out on the RRV.

HI Alan, yes keep 1 set back for me too. (Coupe uses Escort closers) Do they come with Ti Washers? Maybe I can pick them up same time as outboard. 
Was down Newcastle yesterday at Benton Park View (Longbenton) I was in Pool Car with colleagues though so unfortunately didn't get a chance to get in touch.
Cheers,
David

On a similar note..... Ti Front metro subframe mounts would be nice. (the front and rear barrel ones with fixing ears) Like the ones I have seen Ralph made in stainless. I'd be up for 2 sets of them.

Hello All,
Just to let you all know Ralph has had another delivery of twenty sets of striker pins, of which he has thirteen sets left. So if anyone wants any, now is the time to order them, as I would imagine that this will be the last order! What you get is a pair of striker pins in Titanium (with a washer) at I would guess less cost than you could buy new steel items from Rover. If you could buy them from Rover! So in reality, I don't think that these pins will be available anywhere, new. So it is worth putting a pair in stock for your Mk3 convertible only! I think Rich will vouch for the quality of these items and I can vouch for Ralph!
He is also doing rather nice alternator pulleys in aluminium for the K-series alternator and I'm going to trial one on my K-series engine. I will report back with pictures when I have it fitted! you never know he might do an A-series pulley.
David M. I have secured a pair for you. I've asked about front subframe mountings and Ralph feels that they would a rather large capital outlay at the moment. I had a conversation with him today and suggested that there would be a market with the MGF and TF owners.

Cheers Alan. Let me know when you get them in.
Look forward to hearing about the subframe mounts too. Sounds like a great idea going through the MG owners club.
If it gets off the ground let me know!
