@LI-Rick you’re not wrong, it’s a common, well-proven design.
@edsnova I like the fact you’ve painted the helmet with a flash to match the car’s rear wing flashes.
Anyway, I’ve got the new alternator so will test that this afternoon once fitted. I blew out the jets in the Weber just as a precaution. They looked fine and dirt-free.
The problem with getting at the dials to replace/re-face them is that I have to remove the scuttle using the windscreen. Looks simple enough to unbolt though, so fingers crossed.
