I used either a 7x4 or 10x5 rubber U trim from CBS, and super glued it on.

Well the IVA forms have gone in the post today, so just got to wait now

Thanks for the comments.
Trouble is the more I look the more things I find to adjust and alter.

I've already replaced the front ball joint rubbers, as the originals had perished with it just sat in the garage!!

Was that on the maxi ball joints? Mine were shot after 2 years just sat there.
I keep on finding little annoying bits which makes me think I'll never be finished.

Yeh the maxi ball joints, and the track rod end rubber split around the joint!!!
Luckily I found I was able to buy replacement boots on ebay.

I've added gauges, changed gearstick gators, adjusted headlight height, all sorts of little things.

In the end I just decided to go for it. At least if it fails I will have a list.
Fingers crossed though if it goes as well as the rolling road then it will be a first time pass!!!
