Lots of work being going on with the A352 but not a lot thats particularly photogenic ...
More notable things that are happening is the wiring is well underway . A D type dash has been modified to fit and has gained some extra switch gear etc.
An ignition key and start button system has replaced the standard ignition , all controls are off the column , so headlight switch and floor dipper switch now in place ..indicator switch just below dash , extra idiot lights in a row horizontally and pull out switches for heater fan , map light and roundall lights travelling vertically next to the two smaller gauges ...
still work to do but getting there ....
A non tailfinned headrest has been fitted , Chris has developed this panel to adorn both the 352's and the D type bodies ..this is the first one and they are a nice job ..the curve is just right for that D type styling ...they sit higher than a Sammio one and look very tall without the screen in place but they are very cool with the petrol flap and hidden fuel cap system .
I have bonded it on and will be adding some rivet detail when its glued firmly ...I have hinged and latched the flap using standard butt hinges fitted to aluminium angle shelves rivetted through the headrest and bonded in place too ...The latch is a standard quarter turn Herald boot handle type and will be opened with a square drive Church key T handle through the hole on the side ...The original D type simply has a hole here you push a spring clip through with your finger to release the flap ..but we felt a lock was better !!
