    Series 3 Bonnet frame

    Evening all. Finally dug the bonnet out for cleaning prior to painting, discovered a slight hitch. It seems the support frame is a tad rusty🤣 I've found the top hat supports for sale but not a sniff of a front or rear support. My tame fabricator has offered to see what he can do, but, surely...

    Series 3 Fuel tank

    Morning all. I'm in need of a new fuel tank and am in a quandary as to what to buy. Given that I live on the sea front and the salt air eats anything made of steel, do I buy the steel tank or splash out on an aluminium tank? Are the aluminium tanks worth the money? Thanks Shirl
