James, going back a couple of weeks, I noticed that you reconditioned your steering rack. Can I ask where you got the gaiters from, they look better than the ones I am having problems with. Also where do you get your paint, I have a lot of trouble getting it matched. Hope I've not interrupted your flow too much ! Alan |

Quote: Please do hang on to that layshaft. With the current parts shortage I'd like to see how much it would be to get that re-sleeved.
Sam (Yorkshire Spam) suggested the same on Facebook, it can't be that difficult to have them sleeved.

Thanks Tony, There are some little bits of paintwork adjustments that need to be done on the nose, I will do those when I do the bonnet. |

New plates. old ones in boot. sealed beam or halogen? Doesn't matter, but relays are a MUST for every Dolly! It can be difficult to get halogens that have the correct look. My sealed beams are very bright after a new stalk switch and Jeroen's relay mod. |

I second that. Get the original equipment working right before condemning it. My preferred place to hide the relays is behind the lights:Having the fuses and relays at the front of the car keeps all the runs as short as possible. |

Yes, I'll get it up and running standard before doing anything. I'll order some plates, they do look good. Need a flasher as well. |
