December 24th 2011 - New Seat Belts
The kit came with the standard inertia reel seatbelts which we'd already half fitted, but we quickly realised the upgraded seats with the cutout below the headrest would look far better with some four-point harnesses. These duly arrived for Mark's birthday and are ORANGE TRS items from Great British Sportscars at little more than half the price of Westfield-supplied belts. No real work on the car then, just five minutes away from a family Christmas-eve lunch to fit the driver's side top mounting bolts:
December 3rd 2011 - Indicator
This time last year there was deep now on the ground, but we didn't manage to take full advantage of the fine weather as we only go about an hour's work in amongst the distractions associated with the car being in the garage of elderly parents!
We did manage to get one of the nosecone-mounted indicators on though. It was, for once, a straightforward task involving marking and drilling three holes in the same way as we did for the fog and reversing lights: a big one in the middle for the grommet, smaller 5.5mm ones either side for the mounting bolts. Once done, it was simply a mattter of bolting the housing on and riveting the light unit to it using small 3.3mm rivets. Easy!
