Obviously I can't see your loom, but if it's been chopped and messed with you might be as well seeing if you can source an intact Metro loom and start with a known quantity.

It's a MK1 three door Metro tank, it's not a difficult job to do really.

I don't believe they are, the Rover Metro ones (A series) do fit the earlier Austin Metro. They come up on ebay quite frequently.
