Loony's Mum's stitchwork on the handbrake lever gaiter, with the base plate I cut from 2mm aluminium sheet. 6 quid for the vinyl, 3 quid for the Ali.

-so really they were an expensive set of hinges!
Isn't that always the way. Bought a complete reliant exhaust and after hacking it about, I only used the first three inches of it.  Neat handbrake gaiter and trim. |

Note the interior light!
Made me think of this........... In the beginning
Back in nineteen fifty five
Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show
And all that jive
The white man had the schmaltz
The black man had the blues
No one knew what they was gonna do
But Tchaikovsky had the news
He said let there be sound
There was sound
Let there be light
There was light
Let there be drums
There was drums
Let there be guitar
There was guitar
Let there be rock
And it came to pass
That rock 'n' roll was born
All across the land every rockin' band
Was blowin' up a storm
And the guitar man got famous
The business man got rich
And in every bar there was a superstar
With a seven year itch
There was fifteen million fingers
Learnin' how to play
And you could hear the fingers pickin'
And this is what they had to say
Let there be light
Sound
Drums
Guitar
Let there be rock
 Let There Be Rock Angus Young / Malcolm Young / Bon Scott |

A-n-d back to the plot, (I suspect some of you have lost it).
Roof painted with a generous coat of zinc anti corrosion paint.
Green Perspex sun visors now fitted though, as I said, I'll be swapping them for slightly bigger & thicker ones.

A few mounting tabs welded into the rollcage & the Morris Minor roof section trimmed to fit. It slots around the interior light. Needs pulling down along the front edge to meet the top of the windscreen surround, but otherwise, not a bad fit. The Pop roof will be lined with a layer of Dynamat sound/heat insulation, then the Moggy suspended headlining panel will be upholstered in the same tuck n roll material as the doors & seats. It's about a foot too short, but the back end's only a single curve, across the width of the car, so we can easily extend it with a length of 1mm steel sheet. A bit more tweaking & it should fit nicely. Using a flat sheet of steel would mean we'd lose several inches of headroom. The double curvature of the Morris Minor roof skin, (picked up for a fiver from a guy on the East coast when I was buying parts for the next project recently), mimics the outside roof, but about an inch lower, creating a false double skin. http://m-mclassiccartrim.com/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=39 |
