Re: 64 Austin Cooper S 1071.
Actually, the bracket on the car should be correct for LHD MK1 cars with twin carbs. I don't know what AKD3509/3510 states, but have seen many unmessed with LHD Coopers and Ss that have the same bracket fitted. There are a few members on this forum that can verify this. I always have seen the 14A6734 bracket on LHD 850s (single carb).

Your attention to detail is very inspiring.
I wish I was as meticulous with my pathetic efforts.

Hi Ricardo...
Thanks for the message.. I have to say I did not know that. Actually threre is 2 of thoose original brackets with my car, so guess you´re right, . ( can see se you got the same brackets on your car, and I´m sure you wont do that if it aint correct.)
So until now it will stay on the car then
Cheers René

The dash rail was the most difficult one to do I think... So many corners & edges

Looks great! What adhesive are you using? Can't get my lower dash rail to stick and have tried 2 types of glue!

Hi Niel...
Thanks for your kind words..
The first one I tried did not work either. but after that i used the spray from Wurth... It worked very good.. No air holes at all, and you got good time to get the vinyl to fit nicely..
I found it on the web too with a picture...

A supplier is sometimes difficult to find in the US but it is the best. 3M would be a decent substitute but not as good.
Awesome work Rene' as always.

Rene, you have to use more of the blue ones, they work better.

Very special!
My engine/trans builder is almost complete with a proper build.
The chassis is mine to do.
Thanks for the pictures.
I hope to show you mine and share soon.
You brought it a Long way.
