They are a bit awkward wherever you mount them - sit in the seat and see what feels best is what I did

Thanks all. I note the NASCO instructions put the handle roughly over the door opener spindle.

Got another 3 day permit its about the cost of a carton of stout and nearly as much fun. I'm planning to take it in Thursday morning for identity check. So went for a drive down to Myponga, the next town to call in on my mate but he wasn't home. Oh well. Speedo nudged 90 on the way down Willunga Hill coming home. A few commodore and tarago drivers with mouths open when I passed them. The engine braking is pretty good with the 3.89 different so compression can't be too bad. Horn only works off centre so wheel has to come off again. Maybe the contact ring needs a clean. I have to get it working before I take it in.

Looking good Clay. A visor would top it off? I can be cheeky cause I'm invalid

Yer no racks Brett. I'd rather paint the wheels blue i think...

Not often I disagree with Tim, but I reckon blue wheels will be too much blue. Chrome or shiny jellybeans for me. I've got them ready for Project 2.
