Re: Mongrel Street Racer
Your 380 wheel Darren seems to get better each time I see it, it looks to be in fantastic condition considering its age, do you know if it got much use from its previous owner ......

I'm certainly willing to fit it to my swb to add some patina for you Darren, would be a nice change to the small 330mm wheel I currently have in the car

Re: Mongrel Street Racer
Darren, finished the clock mount.
Without the halda here I can't tell if the side adjuster knob will clear after we moved the clock sun shield higher. I think best If I send it in plain alloy so any clearance for that knob can be filed in. You can then give it a quick etch and satin or crinkle black which will look very period. I have made it fit with two simple knurled screws that will need you to install two rivnuts in m6 on the dash panel they'll be out of sight when fitted being on the pad return above the glove box.
Does that make sense ?

Big thanks to Andy Haas for making the mounting plate for my Twinmaster and Rally-Master set.....haasad wrote:Darren, finished the clock mount.
.....the revised design will now sit over the knee pads; with built-in lightness and funky knurled quick release screws, once painted satin black and mounted I think it'll look the DB's
Cheers Andy
