Oh Yes, definitely Vermillion. Currently it's all that colour but hopefully in November the roof will be vinyl covered so it'll tone down the sheer amount of Orange! |

Mark that looks good,i know what you mean about the original steering wheel being to thin,the stag wheel is the same as a sprint,i padded mine out by sticking two layers of leather on top of each other i use red,it wasnt untill i went to put the top perforated leather cover over the top,you could see the red showing through had to dye the red black before fitting the outter cover Dave |

Some great work going on there Mark, I know you had a break to get your Mojo back but you're going really well now. The light at the end of the tunnel is glowing brightly. It's an inspiration for people like me but i'd never achieve anything near what you're doing. Can't wait to see it in the flesh. |

I'd be surprised if he had messed it up as he's done quite a few, especially race engines but the proof will come when I assemble out and do some measuring |

Very nice. Where did the breather pipes come from? |

Very nice.
The rubber ones were from RB I think, they aren't anything special. I'd like to have used some silicone but you can't get the shape. The rubber ones are OK for a few years till they crack and perish but at least they're cheap.
