Rimmers Part Drawing Removal

Post by Plodder »

It appears that Rimmers have moved their assembly drawings for the early R8 variant. All they appear to initially show is a list of parts .
You now have to click on one of these parts to see the diagram and the list of part numbers.
Disappointing and pointless change in my opinion . Perhaps its because they only want to show whats in stock.

Agree, it's less useful than it was. A while back, maybe quite a while back, they listed all the parts on the diagram with original part numbers including bits that are NLA. I guess you can still get that by clicking on one of the parts and see the diagram, but they don't now show NLA stuff. It's a pity the Club hasn't been able to get electronic lists of parts to put on the Club website, a bit like the workshop manuals. I think they have tried, but there's some copyright issue involved. Many years ago I got a parts CD used by Rover dealers called Infomill which lists all the parts. Got that from one of the founders of the Club nearly 20 years ago. It's not the best as it needs an early Windows operating system Windows XP, however it has been useful to cross-reference part numbers and check NOS stuff on eBay.
