So there is another Midas in Suffolk. I am just a little north of Stowmarket.
What sort of range would you get with the electric conversion and where would the batteries be fitted?

Glad to see you posting again. Hopefully, 2023 will be happier than the previous two years and that you will continue to make progress with the Midas.

Sound Insulation
Hopefully, later this year when it warms up I will start to recommission my 1986 MK2. One of the things I know has deteriorated is the sound insulation that Dermot used in the Corby factory, the type with two layers of foam sandwiching a thin layer of more solid material. It is this thin middle ...

Re: Mk 1 Project Zippy. Looking Like a Car.
I suppose it is like interior decorating. Everybody has their own ideas of what is considered to be good.
The basic headlining is rather close to my head in my MkII although I do have a sunroof which may rob a bit of head room. Last time I drove it (over 20 years ago) I used to drive with the ...

Commiserations to you and your family on your loss. We lost my mother-in-law in April.
Take care of yourself.
