Sirocco replacement saloon windows

Good morning all. The windows on my '82 Sirocco are heavily crazed, and need replacing. Not sure if all Prout windows are like mine, but the perspex is bolted to the outside of the coach roof, with an edge chamfer on the mating surface, for the application of sealant. Does anyone know of a Company w...

Much obliged 'Classicone' for your message.
Just a observation, you sent your message to me on Jan 28, 2016, and I have only just received it!
Still, better late than never!

Re: Rudder Alignment question

I wonder if it is trying to copy the steering geometry of a car, where, whilst turning, the inner wheel (rudder) on the inside of the turn has to deflect more to better assist the turning circle?

Proceedure for filling Sirocco steering system

Hi, Is there a copy of the recommended method for filling the steering system on the Sirocco 26? If anyone has filled their system, could they give me any tips, please? My main concern is that, if I don't fill the new cylinder first, whether the reservalve (?) has enough capacity to do the job in on...

Re: hydraulic steering adjustment?

Hi SV Snowqueen. I have the same problem on my Sirocco 26. The track rod and ends seem the same as yours, and I also have play in my rudder pintles. These are 0.5" dia and I am looking for a supplier of oversize pins so that I can drill/ream out the pintles to give a tight fit. Do you think eit...

Sirocco steering system leaks

Yet another problem with my newly acquired Sirocco, is that that the actuating cylinder has been rubbing on the inside of the access panel (since 1982!), so much that the cylinder has worn away and now leaks. It is the weight of the cylinder which causes the tie rod to rotate until it rests on the h...

Sirocco steering system spares

Can anyone point me towards a supplier of the rod ends, cylinder attachments etc and o/s pintles for the Sirocco?
All mine are worn so that there is about 1" play at the rudder!
Thanking you in advance.

Sirocco Switch/Fuse panel

I have only recently bought my '82 Sirocco. The captions on the fuse panel switches, particularly the Nav lights (I think!) have been used so much that they are unreadable!
Could anyone help me identify which is which, please?
Many thanks in advance.

Re: Helm pump

I have a Sirocco 26 with the Hynautic Reservalve steering system fitted. The steering is working during moderate turns, except that when I try for a tight turn, there is a resistance felt on the wheel, and there is a ticking noise the more the wheel is turned. Could anyone help with the correct meth...

Sirocco 26 Mast Repair

I am considering buying a Sirocco 26 which has some damage to the base of the mast. Can anyone help me with sourcing a 3 ft section that I can use for the repair?
Thanks in anticipation. :?
