Thanks Lee
I'll remember that

I should have remembered the shinny tape,because it was all
the rage when I was a kid,to make your push bike look flash

Cheers
Phil

Thanks Nick

Its wired and ready but I will be waiting for the option packs to get
every thing working.
I have a little relay that works off a receiver connection because I chose to use
just one led on a seperate battery.
My MG Traverse works and the MG flash will be done when the amplifier is in.
I have just re installed my drivers hatch,but I am working on weathering it
before I take some more pic's tomorrow,otherwise it will stand out like a boil
on your nose on my glacis plate

Cheers
Phil

Hello Phil.....I am still keeping a watch on your progress, love the 'tools'.

My Comet is now 'overwintering' in the dinning room....next to the Christmas Tree.
I have obtained all the 'permissions' from my good lady....cost me though.

Added the deflector plates and welds, to the front , just below the MG and drivers hatch.
I think that's what those 'angled' plates are for.?

Have a good Magners Christmas Phil.

Best Wishes....Mick.

Thanks Mick
Yes them angles were there to try to deflect anything heading towards the sharp angle.
Will you be putting photo's on when you have finished.
Happy Christmas to you and your Wife and a happy new year.
Cheers
Phil
