Great, thank you, now I’ve got to find some other goodies to make the P&P acceptable lol

At some point in its recent life my 78 roadster has had the centre dashboard panel off. I’m guessing the previous owner was a summer driver as he has failed to connect the cables to the controls. It looks like the cable ends are missing so is it these Trunnions Nipples I need?

I like a well organised history file for a car, and I’ve had some luck in the past contacting previous owners.

Might help, if you gave it’s colour (as your remember) and if it’s a GT or a roadster. I know my ‘78 roadster has worn three different number plates.

Unless you can clean every surface so it’s got a good key, you’re probably just going to be throwing shrapnel at everyone as it comes off. Probably better to lightly sand, and either rattle can or hand paint the same silver colour. Believe me, in a few week it won’t be so glaringly obvious, it will ...
