Yup totally crap! Binned 2 pairs, the knurled bolt was cross threaded. Stainless disc method looks interesting, pretty simple in theory, and obviously works.

I welded over a sunroof aperture last week, and it's the most awful wobbly twisted thing I've ever seen. I think probably my inherent lack of patience doesn't help. I likes structural welding personally. You can turn your brain off and just bust into it. I was doing 12-15mm thick ally today. I can cope with stuff like that... Aye, that's all there is to it! Sunroofs can be awkward, did a Capri sunroof last week, not overly enjoyable.. Patience is definitely needed, structural stuff is a very different ball game, good fun though..

Re: My new 2CV, running restoration. In theory.. Well done for doing something different! If it was me I would have put an old style sloped panel in with some round lights. But then, thats what most people would do. Not my cup of tea, but nicely done!

Re: My new 2CV, running restoration. In theory.. Not overly fanatical then??  The only problem fitting old style lights, is that there is no indicator. These were the smallest light I could find that combined all 3 reflector, brake and tail lights, and an amber indicator. I personally think they look a little large, but when the wings are on I reckon they'll look a lot better.

Re: My new 2CV, running restoration. In theory.. It makes sense mate, I agree, with the wings on i think they will look better. If you don't try something new then you never know!
