Actually, I can identify with that.... It took me a bout 2 hours to clean up and re-flare the rear Brake line on the 'Cuda that a previous person had mullered up... A nice stretch in a confined space...

:lol: No, I might not, you’re right. :D It’s worth it, though. You’d be bored if you didn’t have to spend half your life upside down. :lol:

Really dislike the cheap looking tin cover for the Pro Ratchet shifter. The previous Quick Click has what I consider to be a great bit of stylish yet no nonsense design. I've set about a redesign which fully covers the cable exit using the old cover as inspiration, not sure where I'm headed with it its a work in progress..

No I want to get rid of the bead rolling, I’ll probably end up making new sides or beat it flat somehow and take a mould off it.

Like the look of that. Can’t remember, have you got the console or have you removed it?

Originally a bench seat car Stu so it didn’t have a console.
Bit of a steering column rebuild/ lighten/ tosh up going on Today. Had to get a nylon bush spun up to suit the new hollow steering shaft.
