OK, so where can I get one of those stick-on centre rear view mirrors? Looks like it's going to Donnington a week today . . . :ninja: Doesn't need to pass MOT :rolleyes:

What do the screws look like that hold the dash top down? Silver or black? IIRC they are like wood screws.

Cheers! Sounds familiar, I think that they are countersunk.

I tried to get the dash top to clip in under the binnacle today but couldn't. Not enough leverage with the windscreen in. :rolleyes:

Since rebuild: 4.5 miles of parking lots . . . . . . and 99 miles of Donnington! Never missed a beat! Just pumped in lap after lap with hot swaps of drivers between me and Duncan. Really pleased and really enjoyed it! :jump:
