Been fannying around with door locks this week. Fitting the lock directly to the thicker fibreglass door was proving troublesome. After a bit of headscratching I decided the best approach was to make a aluminium panel to fit the lock to. Easy enough to form over the original steel door. I bonded it on and secured with peel rivets which are great for use on fibreglass as they spread the load.It lined up first time and works perfectly now.

I discovered '67 cars used a clear indicator lens rather than an amber one on a '68. In my usual fashion of fixing something that isn't broke, I found a pair of NOS ones on eBay, look a lot neater and almost invisible now I think.

Yes that lens works better with the blue headlight... interesting 'peel' rivets... will they keep tight?

Peel rivets don't come loose, they give your wrist a good work out fitting them by hand, they grip like the brown stuff to a blanket....

Not seen anything like that before blue, is it your design or something they did back in the early days. Cool though

Been done like that for years Richard, Can't claim it was my Idea I think a few people just came up with the same solution. I've made my own in the past but most of the race car suppliers sell a kit these days.
