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

Thanks InimiaD . ..

Since last time, I did little work on the inside...

Started to put on some vinyl this week.. Must say, it ain´t that easy as it look.. But so far so good...

does your missus know you have nicked all her pegs!

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

Yes she did find out, but too late...

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...

Wurth poducts are second to none.
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.
