First a few quick wins.
The chassis plate is now (2005 Roadster) glued to the bulkhead, but still has a hole in each corner where they were once screwed or riveted. Anyway, I had an idle ten minutes, so I dug out four allen bolts (from my box of assorted fasteners), cut the shanks off with the hacksaw and araldited the heads in place. My chassis number isn't 0000 by the way. That's cunning photoshop work.
When I bought the Roadster, it had clear indicator lenses........
I don't think clear looks good with red paint, so I've swopped back to orange, but used two front lenses because they provide a slightly larger surface area. The threads for the fixing screws are different threads front to back, but could be changed as the female end in the lamp unit is brass and removeable. However the front fixing screws are longer than the original rears, so I've left well alone for now and used the rear fixings that came with the clear lenses.
Finally on the quick wins, when I bought my luggage carrier, I was advised to fit the spacer so that the rack frame rested on the spare wheel sidewall. I wasn't keen on this solution as the spacer was not a 'best fit' that way round. So I reversed it and fitted two shaped pieces of rubber hose. This just sits off the sidewall, but when loaded will help to take the load.
More to follow shortly. I just have to resize some photos. The front wing protectors were completed yesterday!!!!!!
