Just tidying a few bits up before attending the Knebworth Show on August Bank Holiday Monday . . .

These door window lip / T seals, are designed for a Jaguar XK150, but suit here with a little trimming. Tried clamping a square steel rod onto the work surface and cutting with a stanley knife - just about gives an ok edge.

Renewed the carpet on the parcel shelf and fitted a heated rear window. Looks neater. The chrome trim is almost impossible because the body does not fit the screen very well, at the top corners [not shown]

Put some anodised stainless kick plate strips in, which work better with the carbon fibre sill covers.

In the boot we have gone back to the standard plastic trim, with the addition of some little rubber edging strips, to tidy it up.

We chromed the wiper arms:

We found some brass thin U profile sections which we chromed and fitted over the leading edge of the quarter-light glass.

Finally, we created an emergency access route if the door locks failed, by wiring up the passenger window to a switch in the boot. Due to the possible high current we used 2.5mm wires and two switches. One to change the operation from the cabin to the boot and one to operate the window. Again, these must be 'heavy duty' type switches to cope with the loading . . . . let's hope we do not have to use it at all.

Washed and polished with Simoniz Carnuba wax.


Anyone else going to Knebworth ? . . . . Due to be cloudy but dry.
