In praise of B roads

A few drives recently, down to Goodwood, over to Horsham and, this week, to Lakeside have highlighted how enjoyable it is to drive on B roads. Little traffic, mostly decent surfaces, decent width - and at this time of year, driving through the countryside in the sunshine with the engine purring away, they're quite lovely.

More sterling work by Max at Lakeside. The door handles I sourced were a very slightly different shape but fit OK. However the drivers door catch mechanism had been previously "bodged" which meant the locking mechanism didn't work. Temporary de-bodging has taken place but we need to find a replacement o/s door catch. Max also found some window frame liners which have magically stopped the glass rattle.

The radiator as been repaired again, hopefully for the last time.

Work on the drivers door has highlighted the fragility of some of the original glass fibre; a couple of small cracks have appeared. Nothing too awful but the door and it's components will need more work, perhaps over the winter.
