I remeber replacing one on our Cortina rally car - it involved a large round mark on the kitchen tiles in our council house (where we dropped it getting it out of the oven).

I'm back! Been on holiday and then had stuff to do with my Mum. Still onwards and upwards!
So, I did a fair bit this weekend on the front end, looking a lot better, pics when its a bit further on.
So here is a little question - do the front indicators (mounted on stalks) need to be bendy, or will a solid rod be ok?

Done a bit more this weekend. Decided to fit these BMW grills to the front. Made up a paper template for the top

Come to my leg, but a bit long at the moment. I think if I shorten them slightly they will clear my legs and still be ok to reach, still fiddling with that bit Pete Maybe angle them up a bit ?? |

when i make up bars i usually sit on trike and "assume the position" then my chrissie takes some measurments from hands to top yoke, floor to hands and also from hand to hand. this way i know the bars are going to be a good fit and be comfortable |
