I must have just missed you at the factory....I saw it parked up at the top as I was taking a tour round......it got plenty of admiring comments! I did see yours in the car park John. Needing a wash I thought  I did see you taking the tour around but I didn't want to interrupt you.

Glorious..
I had the roll bar finished in Silver, to match the wheels, but seriously considered body colour.
I also like the dread rubbers on the running boards, much better than paint protection film, which scuffs. Now I've seen yours I'll by copying....!!
How bright are the lights at night. Lets take the OEM Lights at 5/10. On the same scale, 1 to 10, where do you put the LEDs? I saw the pics of yours and Brian's roll bars. Then after seeing yours in the flesh at Brooklands, couldn't find you, must of had a haircut ?  That made up my mind to get one fitted. I was going to have a black one but think the cars got enough black detailing. I'll be copying yourself and Milt on the windscreen and sidescreen chroming later in the year and a few other bits wallet permitting.

I'm not an engineer by any means, but the roll bar, is it an actual safety device, or just a style bar? It looks singularly mounted at the base each side, which on all the sevens I owned was a no no, as they just fold flat in an accident.

Great to see you back Peter, the car looks super and I like the colour coded roll bar! 👍 Off to pick up my car on Thursday with new headers and exhaust system through to the tail, will post a sound track when I pick it up (Won't be as loud as side pipes though!)  Peter J if you have Suntek film fitted, the one fitted by Morgan is 3M, it is self-healing so the scuff marks disappear.

Be aware the tread rubbers are quite a way inboard. You may need film over the outer curved area as that is where most scuffing appears to occur on I have never actually touched the treads on my trad but am wary of the curved part of the wing when swinging my feet out. The leather on the rockers is also another at risk area. Carpet would be better there on the older trads.You may be able to polish scuff marks off the film. Try fine polish as described in the other thread for hood windows.
Your car looks great with the mods.

Peter forgot to reply to your question about the brightness.
They aren't as good as xenons distance wise I'd say but as bright. Certainly a huge improvement over the standard lights IMHO. So 8/10 on dip beam and a 10 on full beam.
