John,
It looks like it's a bit late now, but did you consider fitting an A/C unit that provided both cooling and heating and routing it through the existing air vents?

Andy,
Bristol Cars (Brian Marelli) gave me the spring specs because it was going to be very expensive to send springs to Australia from the UK. I'm sure if they were from another car Brian would have...

Hi Andy,
I assume you mean the front suspension coil spring is broken?

As far as I am aware the front coil springs are not from any other car - they were made specifically for Bristol. Fortunately...

Stefano,
Are you sure your problem is not a fuel supply volume and/or pressure issue, and/or perhaps the wrong carburettor?

Brian,

The reason I suggested putting a fan on the rear of the radiator to pull air through, is because I have done that on my 411.

I'd had air conditioning installed in the 411 and once the...

Peter,
That was the result of a very quick google search. There are others out there made for other cars. With a bit of searching online you might find a better fit.
