 Re: The Dirty 'D'
 So once the repair to the front bulkhead was completed the pedal box mount got cut down and bolted into place. Taking measurements from the 2cv i have outside all three pedals have a certain amount of travel and i had to get the same travel from the pedal box on the Dyane. The top stops were trimmed back so the pedals sat higher to begin with and the bases also trimmed back... the main problem was the clutch pedal throw this was solved by cutting the pedal off and rewelded back on lower down all sorted... The pedal box mount was then once again removed and bonded back on as per factory and drilled and bolted lower down...

 Re: The Dirty 'D'
 The back seat has been fitted so the rear mountings can be drilled and refitted....

Am I right in thinking that a narrrow 2CV rear bumper is the same as an early Dyane? If so, you'd just need: http://www.ami-2cv.com/carrosserie-2cv- ... -gris.htmland perhaps bumper brackets? http://www.ami-2cv.com/carrosserie-2cv- ... riere.htmlFront bumper: http://www.ami-2cv.com/carrosserie-2cv- ... lante.htmlOverrider: http://www.ami-2cv.com/carrosserie-2cv- ... diane.htmlFront insert: http://www.ami-2cv.com/carrosserie-2cv- ... dyane.html

 Re: The Dirty 'D'
Thanks for the links Neil but i think i need something a bit more battered up, so if i find early 2cv bumpers i just need to add the rubber strips to make them into early Dyane bumpers, is that right?
Plus did you get my PM Neil?

Plus did you get my PM Neil? I *think* this rear bumper is the same as an early Dyane bumper: http://www.ecas2cvparts.co.uk/bumper-re ... -1125.html so that should be a case of lobbing the grey insert on. 2CV front bumpers are different to Dyanes, early or otherwise.

 Re: The Dirty 'D'
 Time for a little bit of negative camber, this will help tuck the wheel into the arch and away from the wing..
