Thanks Harvey for the wheel refinish. And for tire recommendation.

Over the weekend I finished going back to twin battery setup. I also made a fuse box shield out of moldable plastic instead of the cardboard original type.

Great idea on the plastic cover. Any more details on this

Finally, someone puts 215 Avon's on a long wheelbase car! Looks great Clarke. How much spacer are you using in the rear? Any concerns about the tire rubbing the backside of the fender?

Cleared MOT and got out driving and drinking coffee!

1/4" spacer was all that was needed to clear the adjustment screw/bolt/nut thingy.
Doesn't look like it is going to rub fender. Yet. Maybe. Hmmmm. I would like car a bit lower in rear...
Replacing the oem 2.4 with 3.2 in June, expect extra weight to settle rear more, then we'll know.

I bought some 1/8 thick heat moldable plastic at Tandy leather. It is used to make holsters. Did the rough cutouts with a dremel and used a heat gun, to shape it over a coffee tin. Detailed the cutouts once in place, sanded and used some silver spray paint to match original. I guess I could do the little square cutout to match the original exactly. This should hold up much better than the cardboard version.
