Fits on the column fine but too big to fit inside the boss, so I need to find an engineering shop to machine out the boss and fit the sleeve.

Once the chrome window winders and door pulls are on it should tie together nicely.

Re: 1982 1.5 CL Auto
Need to get the handbrake chromed next
I've got a wooden handle for it, the same as the steering wheel, winders, pins, etc.
Just the gearshift to work out next.

Re: 1982 1.5 CL Auto
Still messing about with little odds and sods while I'm trying to source rear arches.
Whipped the handbrake lever out
Wood grip and billet release knob
Been sitting in my garage for nearly a decade so it's a bit worn looking

While the lever is off being chromed I gave the grip a few coats of walnut varnish

Re: 1982 1.5 CL Auto
I got a reply from him after a few weeks because my original email had gone to his junk folder. Emailed him back for price and delivery and haven't heard back again, that was a week or so ago.Reverend Frog wrote:did you not manage to get the rear arches from Chris mate?

But he will reply, eventually. you could also add him on Facebook, he's on thereThe Milkman wrote:I got a reply from him after a few weeks because my original email had gone to his junk folder.
