I have fitted new bushes to the door hinges as the original scimitar ones has lots of play that mean closing the doors was difficult.
The door hand now unlocks by pulling rather than pushing.
The scimitar door cards now fit snugly on the doors and
Rear view mirror now fixed to the centre rod.
I also now have a working fuel gauge, so I know it has not all evaporated over the last 3 and a bit years,
I expect the fuel is probably past it’s “use by” date by now.
The cooling fan now blows cold air through the radiator from the front
rather than trying to sucking air though the radiator and out the front grill,
which was somewhat pointless when the car is moving.
The wire wheel adapters needed modification as the wheels fastened against the 4 nuts, rather than the hub taper.
This was due to the scimitars ½” threads rather than the 3/8” threads used on Triumphs.
I purchased a 25mm 90 degree counter sink drill to recess then a little further so they are all fitted and looking good.
Looking forward to driving off into the sunset:
Next few jobs:
Oil and filter change
Adjust the handbrake and remove slight steering play.
Tweek the headlight aim and fit some perspex covers
Then the rub down for a paint job
