Thoughts on the red dots?

I have 'new' barely used (12,000 km - but 24 year old rubber cones...

 

I believe most would recommend replacing due to age, yes?

 

 

Four to six times, in twenty-four years, yes.

Took the Mini out for a good run, only to discover that I have an exhaust leak from a crack in the manifold, a new one has been ordered from Minispares.

 

So my 1st task in the new year will be to replace the manifold, also going to replace all the engine steady bushes

Started making some sump plug adapters, I couldn't find my countersink tool, while looking for it I dropped a parting tool blade, which pierced an aerosol of grey primer, said primer went all over me, shut the workshop down, as evidently it wasn't my day.

Yesterday my Grandson & I fitted a new navigator's seat to the '64 'S' historic rally car. It's a Cobra and the width at the shoulder level was a bit wider than the old one, so I had to move the mounts inboard by around 2 cm.

Then we changed all the old brake fluid for new AP600 comp fluid.

This week I have to fit the wheels. lower the car and start the engine. Then set the ride height with the new ones an Hi-Lo's.

New heated screen will then be fitted and Osram Night-Breaker bulbs in the Hella Headlights.

Just the grill and spot-lamps to be fitted and it'll be rally-ready again.
