Hood frame adapted slightly to make the peak a little heavier for weather flap etc...

Well done R - that looks nice.

Tonneau and hood bag now complete - some issues with the hood are still to be resolved...

Hi Ruairidh

It’s all looking very trim -Smile That’s a top notch trimmer who’s helped
with this phase of the build.

I’m still researching materials for the hood. Originally it would have been a heavy twill ?
or was double duck invented then?

Have you opted for an Everflex material for the tonneau, hood bag, sidescreens and hood?

I managed to get some stainless lift a dots from the USA as I’ve found with other types that they go rusty.

I’m interested to know if you’ve used double height lift a dot pegs on the rear cockpit?

I was going to use single ones as I was thinking, either  the hood is on, or the tonneau is on, or the hood bag is on.

I’ll be interested to see the sidescreens too as I haven’t figured mine out yet though I’ve got some
frames made now.

This car is going to feature in magazines for years to come!!

Regards

Bill G

He is absolutely superb, I am utterly delighted with his work. The finish on this part is perhaps the most important and will make or break a build like this in my opinion.

No idea Bill, sorry - I am after longevity on this and chose appropriately based on my other cars.

No, this is exterior quality vinyl leathercloth - for the reasons above.

I have had no problems like you describe with Lift The Dot fixings, all my cars are fitted with them.

The pegs are indeed double height.

This is why I asked him to use them.

I don't want to fit these, no need and it is very doubtful that I could drive safely with one on the driver's side for sure (I've tried).

Not in my ownership - I cannot think of anything worse. My enjoyment comes from, researching, building and then driving such vehicles, not much beyond that.

Looks marvellous R. Stunning work.

RE: Cup in a Box - resurrected from the old Forum... - AllAlloyCup - 16-02-2019

Hi Ruairidh

Thanks for answering my queries.

I was meaning Austin 7 club magazines ! Not Octane
Perhaps, but The Automobile might be appropriate.

Sidescreens and a hood are worth having when you park up
On rainy nights? Perhaps not ideal for driving though?
Though a tonneau is OK,

Regards

Sidescreens are not at all necessary, when you have tonneau, in my experience Bill.

Half Sidescreens are only needed on a cold winters nights drive....
