Some progress, lights are on, and courtesy of ebay , new indicator lenses and headlights. The purests wouldn't agree but were swaping the allegro/ reliant headlights for Triumph Acclaim, two reasons - 1- there cheaper, 2 they sit fully flush with the outer rim of the surrounds. as were using the small metro sidelight, there's no need for the additional headlight side light.
Brake lines have arrived, some stainless steel braided ones to replace the rotted (yip fully perished!!) flexible ones and the brakes can go on. We've had the car in the air and can see the brake and fuel lines are in good shape. only the rotted thru exhaust and gearbox selector bobbin mounts to do.
We'll be at the mini show later this month to acquire!
Our friendly glass guy is booked to reinstall the side windows and put in a new windscreen this weekend, so that should complete that side of things.
A new electric pump will rplace the engine driven one and new lines to the carb, will replace the nasty reinforced clear hose.
Time is of the essence as we have to clear the decks for our other 'kit' car, as we have to have it up and running asap so we can test it for the coming season.
