I found that one in the World's Dustbin (Ebay) I was pleasantly surprised with it, but it is a tight squeeze.
That where the one on my 110 came from which is why I asked as I have no information on what it is either!

Day 12......
It'a a grind this. Would be great if it were just `re-assembly is the reverse of dis-assembly' but of course it isn't. Every bit that came off has to be examined, assessed, replaced or worse still dismantled, de-rusted, Painted and re-assembled then fitted. This is why I did it myself, to pay someone hours to go through all of this would end up in a bill I couldn't Pay...
One bit of good news was that I decided to get my inner wings re-galvanised. I took them to Forfar Galvanisers in Forfar, as it happens. Great firm and service, came back looking like new and £55.00 all in! you couldn't paint them for that kind of money.
Minimal flash to clean off. Well pleased with them..
Some pics of the re-assembly.
The more Eagle-eyed among you will have noticed the new suspension and it has had a new de-cat frontpipe as well.
Is it just me?? As I have been writing this I keep getting an Ad for `single Women seeking older Men' what is that all about ? I've got an old Landy, so I already have a Needy, High Maintainance thing in my life!!!!
Thanks for looking..

Well it's back on the road and, sadly it looks the same as it did before I started.... However I do feel much more confident about next months MOT.
Now that I'm allowed. Ido have some Rusty Tat to sell on, so check out the for sale section.....
More soon

Bringing this up to date is the last of the pictures.
I did sort of fall at the last fence with this. The Bulkhead was a great fit and it all went back together as well as it was before.
Problem started with fitting the bonnet which was now touching the wing at the osr??!!
I did have the presence of mind to check that the bonnet rotating blocks did fit into the brackets on the Bulkhead (which they did) but the brackets were not quite the correct shape and as a result the bonnet did not sit on it's hinges correctly.
Sadly I had to make a Half mil oversize nylon insert to put in the hinge and then Adjust it in Brutal style with Vicegrips !!
Bad news is that I will have to repaint the hinge brackets on the Bulkhead, but the good news is that with the bonnet catch properly adjusted the Bonnet fits, opens and closes beautifully now. It sits nice and does not rattle. RESULT
My Mate also gave me some left over black carpet from his new project, which I used to retrim my roof panel, it had been covered in foam, which is good ,but looked kinda rough.Think this is much better and free......
Need to get some better pics, then it'll be time for the MOT - then see if I'm still happy....

I had to do exactly the seam with mine, and also the vent hinge. However you have just reminded me I should go and touch them up as I am currently painting oother parts. It’s job that has been on the to do list for nearly 12 months!
