yes comeing on well but get them wipers sorted

[Vandalism]

i will would a mk2 scuttle panle be the same as a mk1 as i want to replace the panle where the wipers are for a rhd one insitad of cutting holes in it

[Vandalism]

vandalism[/quote]on the bottom there is a date stamp for 1986
but they look earlier (there where out of a mk2) but i thought they had cloth seats by 86 not black vinal[/quote]


just done a bit of home work on the seats i got ages ago

on the bottom of the double seat it says - KUSTOMBILT - RICHARDS & SHAW - 34 JAN 1986

richards and shaw are a bus/coach/minibus (psv) seat trimming company so these where probably out of a late mk2 psv minibus which peobably makes them quite unusual as they where custom built for the spec of the minibus

[madmark]

Those seats are bus seats

[Vandalism]

im prety shure they are a bit to "flashy" for bus seats which is why i think they are minibus and have sen similar in mk2 minibusses

[Vandalism]

[pat stevens]

i will would a mk2 scuttle panle be the same as a mk1 as i want to replace the panle where the wipers are for a rhd one insitad of cutting holes in it

i used a mk2 panel to repair my mk1 on the corners
it shouldnt take much work to make it fit

What's the point in changing a non rusty scuttle just for 2 holes are you really trying to go for top standard?

[Luke]
