Hopefully winter has been and gone. Whilst replacing brake pipe clips I noted that the outside fuel tank strap had suffered from the dreaded metal worm! so I had to make one of these and fit. Relatively simple task but on first glance the rotted one looked ok but the tank had dropped and was resting on the chassis.

I solved that problem several years ago by making a new set in stainless steel. Replaced them at the same time I installed stainless cooling and heating pipes. Also replaced the pipes mounting straps.

My attention has now turned to the nose cone / bumper / spoiler, what ever it is called! Originally I was going to use the one from EOW but have now opted to use the one from Donna. This is because it has a moulded light housing compared to just a metal plate from what I must presume was the original design

The top rubber strip had been secured using double sided tape so was easily removed the impact strip had been replaced at some time and was secured using bolts which had all rusted and needed cutting out with a grinder (carefully) whilst dribbling water onto the bolts so as not to "melt" the fibreglass.
