You could always try these also http://www.isspro.com/ , they can be bought in the uk but they may be cheaper direct from the states , they will send you a catalogue if you request one . These are the ones i fitted a while ago .

OOPS sorry for the bum steer Peter , that makes my loom a later one then as i thought or assumed that it must have come the original donor vehicle which was an 82 , obviously not then , Pleased that you got it sorted so now you can go out on your late night sorties again

Hi , When i did mine i used stainless button heads with nylock nuts on the inside of the tunnel .

Stainless as we all know can be a problem to work at times , all depends on grade and another big factor is its age as it does age harden , although it can be worked a little easier after it has been annealed , Nibblers can be used ofcause if it is not too thick or too hard . Try a sample piece first if possible .

Fitting bonnet vents certainly helps cool things down , as i did a while back , i used an air disc cutter and a air saw to cut the holes out , mind you that was on a mild steel bonnet , on stainless i would only use a thin disc cutter ,
Was it worth it in my case oh yes .

AVO deserve everything they get after that outburst or should it be that they are not going to get , silver spoon arrogance by the sound of it and what a plonker .

Hi , if you are running a pair of twin choke carbs then they are in need of the mixture setting up as you appear to have all the symptoms of out of tune carbs . An easy job to sort out yourself if you have got the gear .

That sounds very much like the first chapter of one of Spike Milligans books where he was talking to his dad about the way that woman was so gracefull with the pick and shovel a lovely mover too , then he said that air raid will be a lovely job when your mum finishes it , pass me the brown ale son .

I'm afraid that if it wont hold a charge then its knackered , the best advice for looking after a battery is to use something like the Optimate 3 and leave it connected , i have 2 of these one on my Virago and the other a MST battery gaurd on my Hoodie , more info below ,
OPTIMATE 3 SP - Automatic battery optimisation
Designed for 12 volt starter batteries from 2.5 to 28 Amp-hours capacity.
This is the perfect tool for regular or long-term maintenance of batteries not in daily use.
Suitable for all types of rechargeable lead-acid batteries: filler cap types; absorbed acid "MF" for motorcycles; valve regulated (VRLA); & GEL-electrolyte types.
Supplied with two interchangeable connection sets, one with clamps for bench charging, the other with in-line protection fuse and eyelet terminals for permanent connection to the vehicle’s battery.
Since i have used them i havent had to replace a battery .

Its a crying shame that he did not post earlier as it went missing last Sunday , i hope he posts some pics soon to help identify it .
I only hope that he does get it back and in one piece , a running piece too.

Hi Guy , this is what that paint supplier said (You will need a Etch Primer first, then perhaps a 2k high build primer afterwards to add protection and smooth out any imperfections )
hope this answers your question
Mike

Send them a message asking them what they recommend for use with there paints on ally , as far as i can remember we used a chromate primer first , hope this helps ,
