Hood, Sidescreen and Tonneau Fitting & MOT Success

I had a chat with Stuart today looking for an update on progress as he mentioned JSK would be finished by the end of the month. He mentioned that the car was being MOT’d as we spoke and a quick check on the DVLA website this evening confirmed that the car has passed so I taxed it at the same time.

I also received a very welcome email later with images of the hood and sidescreens during and after fitting. To say I’m chuffed is something of an understatement. I bought these items in June last year (16 months ago) and they have been to two garages for fitting, both of whom have failed miserably. Well, Stuart has fitted them at last (without any fuss or provisos I might add – are you taking note Southern Triumph) and they look fantastic.

I also note that the holes in the boot from the luggage rack have been welded up and the boot lid repainted. It looks much better this way – if I want a luggage rack again I can buy an original style that fits by clamping the lid.

The tonneau has also been fitted and from Stuarts email it is a tight fit. It certainly looks like you could bounce a coin on there! It also looks a great match for the hood and sidescreens as the tonneau has come from a different supplier.

Apart from the hood sticks cover, this is all the trimming complete now so the car is 99.9% complete. I’m just waiting to work out how best to get it back to me and JSK will be back at home. I can’t wait to see her in the flesh, so to speak.
