Note: the secret indicators.

Ah! I was looking for those. Are they like Lotus ones and come out of a secret recess in the mudguards?

Although I do the dismantling, mechanical work and assembly work myself I do use a select band of skilled craftspeople to paint, do body work repairs and assemble some trim.
The key is to have them all lined up in time order for the work, Covid rather toppled some of those dates!!
It took me eight years to restore my own Cup so your three and half years should be celebrated Denis!

With regards to the secret indicators, I worked with an LED company to produce these and I am quite pleased with the results.
The front sidelights still operate as normal.

Better than that, Dave - they are completely "invisible" until working - check the video. BTW I greatly admire the very neat indicator-carrying brackets that you made up for YC. I've just made some not-quite-so-beautiful ones for PL.

They look very excellent. Very clever and with hazards as well. Well done R!
Not very excellent. Mobile phone screen is tiny!

so Ruairidh, those rears are linked into a reflector base?
I clicked on the youtube but no more details - will you be able to illuminate us further??
RE: A Ruby lives again - Ruairidh Dunford - 23-05-2021
They are, I can supply you with a similar kit - email me if you are interested.

A little tip about indicator switches. Instead of the truck-sized units supplied with some kits (and assuming that you are not going to use the steering wheel indicator job when fitted) this tiny switch can be hidden away somewhere convenient: https://www.autoelectricsupplies.co.uk/search?search_string=081702&x=16&y=10&fbclid=IwAR2QzdcbNFCT75qFGokhxy4huF8cxBeBX2913m4200SxnQxIzvLWW9eq2IY

What a lovely car Tony.
I hope you will both enjoy the miles in it.
Looks just right to me (not overdone).
Good to see another Ruby rescued.
