And seats finally arrived, Cobra Classic RS Bucket Seat for a nice 70s feel, very happy with the quality and finish on them but seat frames and brackets will need a bit of mods to fir well and get then low enough.

Im parking the carbon bonnet for the moment, the fit is poor and the top has drooped down. It is a Curley bonnet and has been stared very safely so not sure why this is? or if it cam like this as I didnt fit it up on delivery which is probably a year ago. Defo needs a heavier skin and some reinforcement but might be unusable!!!

Has anyone had experience with these? Ill add some pics of the sag.

 

Below is original steel bonnet painted ready to go on for the moment

SO... was searching everywhere for stainless wheel nuts for the traditional Minilite 10x5. Seems to be none available?

Mini Spares telling me they don't do them same as are Mini Sport? I measured the original shitty chrome platted one that the chrome last 6 months which are all thats available at present, and they are 3/8 15.7mm diameter and 21mm shaft length. 

Mini spares do a set for rosepetal C-21A1073

 

http://minispares.co...|Back to search

 

these are 15.5mm diameter and 25mm long, so will have to turn them down a bit and don't think 0.2mm on the radius in difference will be an issue.

So I have been researching battery on here, eventually went for this battery Bosch S4 024 - 60Ah 540A. It fits in perfectly and will just reach bottom of boot board.

Length 232 mm Width 173 mm Height inc. terms 225 mm

Any info on that electric power steering?

This is easily one of my favorite builds, but need more info on these new pictures!

Does that battery come standard on any car?

Hey 

riktanius

 

Sorry about lack of info, happy to answer anything, just been a bit slow on fill in the write-ups. and easier to do the pics!!!!

Its Corsa B power steering! there is a few bits on here and online about the conversion. But the autotest guys here have been doing it for a long time. I should have covered it in detail and will try soon. Really transforms the car and handling.

riktanius not sure what the battery comes on but its type 024.

There is another Bosch battery with same dimensions only not as high and slighty less output if you need a battery that will not come up so high i the battery box.

So would really like to buy these:
https://rover.ebay.c...tm/273948929040
But not at that price. It would be different if this was an original or authentically period car but it ain’t.

 

So bought a set of these:

 and also a set of these to sew on:

Thanks ebay!!
