Might be going too far from originality... but I think a good plastic supplier could mould the end lip out of a (say 5mm) sheet of black plastic. Then bond the L shaped bit to it. Then guys could pain, wrap it with vinyl or whatever they wanted! Just a thought... I#m no plastics expert lol

I would also be interested in these if there is a batch made. I think it is something that would suit 3D printing, but I'm no expert.

I've seen this before, all the comments are spot on and worth checking out/following up. But don't get the tunnel vision... these set ups are renowned for getting a breakdown on the electrical HT side (Coil, Dizzy Cap, HT Leads & Spark Plugs) when under load only. If you've got access these spares, I'd try swapping them out one at a time.

GS Escorts had one recently.

Top Job, really well done. Thanks for sharing with us.

I agree... Pics up? Progress ones? 👍

I done this years ago to a MK1 (Lets just say other manufacture), I went down this kinda route. I wondered around a scrappie until I found what I thought looked like the best option, I then bought the two doors complete... Sold the doors and bits on and ended up costing me £0 I was all quite easy in the end... Having the donor doors there ended up being a big help for the movement measurements.

Oh, The HSR, the only Vauxhall I'd have

Actually, have you seen a X5 on wet grass! Wet grass up hill and my money would be on the XR2. 😁

great photo's, thanks.

I'm old enough to know this, but have never thought about checking it out... My 2000 is from Oxford.

Oops, sorry! 😊

Is your 1.6L a XFlow or OHC?

Thanks for that... I've never noticed that before! Done now. 👍

They are definitely rusted on and come off. 👍
