I managed to get some time in the garage today. First I fitted the skids to the exhaust. No real reason for this except that it tidies things up and stops the crud accumulating on the mountings. Rear:  Front:  Next the windstop. I decided to upgrade the brackets on the Roadster with 2mm aluminium, and at the same time make some for Bumble. I used up some offcuts so the second pair are slightly smaller. It takes a while and a good deal of work to get to this stage:  Then cut the holes:   Old on the left, new on the right. I've modified the dimensions slightly.  Smaller pair for Bumble:  Adding U section neoprene edging:  Test fit: Thankfully these brackets work with the smaller head restraints!   Completed:

Robbie Yes, belts work OK. Sourced from The Plastic Man (who else!)Same place as my spare wheel filler comes from. http://www.theplasticman.co.uk/index.php?area=calculatorFor the draft stop - Polycarbonate (unbreakable). You spec the whole thing, including radius of corners, I also have polished edges, and spec the holes, because they drill super clean holes. I need to dig out the measurements from the garage so I'll post them later......... You now have a PM packed with dimensions!
