dat16v the front fender rubber seals are NOS, in the original packaging..........I just got them in a box of other parts somewhere along the line!

The brake tubing is made by Protube (www.protubeonline.com). I bought mine from JC Whitney.

The Midget kit (not the MGB) comes with the necessary black plastic angled "spacer" to get the correct placement on the door, for good visual once mounted. I haven't actually mounted them yet, but it looks like they will work perfectly!
Mind posting a link to where you got your mirrors from? Part number would also be helpful. And where you got the window rubbers? TIA

Yenpit and wbr911, what event are you guys planning to attend, open track day, ALMS?

Did either of you make it to the VSRA event last weekend? It was great, nice weather and a good overall turn out.

i have a question on the brake lines you bought, what size are they. I am going to be putting my master cylinder inside the car and i need to redo all my brake lines. Also do you need any special tool to bend the lines with out crushing them.

But I don't want to stand up in front of the class & talk........!!!! :oops: I just got my first 510 on the road a few weeks before my holiday travels...........it's a rusty 4 door beater, but it is a running & driving 510!! Anyway, the project got me a l'il fired up to roll this shell out, to get my arse going. I was ready to move it into my workspace just before Christmas, but my buddy talked me out of it, as I was going to be traveling until the end of January, and my shop space is shared by some NON-automotive guys that might happen "to close to the car". I fully intend to pull it out of hibernation when I return!

Thanks pete240z!! :mrgreen:
