Yes, but I have been told that having them red is not a good thing

Red knob and nuts leads to two things,divorce and GUM clinic.

Ha ha ha....
postie just been with some more goodies, some nice red leather gear
and handbrake gaiters which were for a z3 but a little chopping of plastic on sierra handbrake allowed a snug fit, gear lever one just needs shortening ....not bad for £13 delivered from ebay of course, I will make a nice alloy trim to finish them off.....will have to think about dashboard now so its off to b an q for a sheet of MDF.

have you thought about how you are going to get in to the transmission tunnel in the future to service the prop or if you need to unbolt the prop from the diff to get the diff out? look like an aful lot of rivets to drill out. i made the passenger side and top of the tt bolt on items and must say they have been off a few times in the last three years.

I'm guessing that the counter sunk screws that go in to the rivnuts on the top panels will help with the access.
