CLIPPER QUESTIONS

just got a very tidy 1990 clipper with 87k, drives superb,got it for an amazing price,i wanted to put a set of tastefull alloys on it,
i dont want to lower it as i like the drive,and dont want to fork out too much money on that side of things,
but wondered what size wheel i can go up to before it starts to cause problems, would 15" be my maximum…

also i need to do the dreaded full filler neck change,is it harder on the cabriolet ?
where is the best place to find a schematic for doing this project ??

cheers

Welcome to the fold, I use the Brown Haynes manual for mine….not that I've had to do allot yet!

I't covers most things except the power hood and hydralic tappits.

Fuel filler is straight forward as long as there's no fuel in the tank!!!

A good place to look for Cabby related info and some top links to other sites is Prowler's website, he wrote the buying guide.

I have 15in alloys and they are great, I think you can sqeeze in bigger, I have 195x50x15 tyres. Not sure how wide the wheels are they were on the car when I bought it.


Hope this helps
