Since the last post, winter has plodded on. We only had one day above
freezing and we have had three big snowstorms.
Inside this non-descript “shed” lives Old Biddy.
After two weeks, I thought would finally go out to visit her. But getting to
her was a challenge.
I dug a path through the snow bank and raised open
the door. Her coverings were rolled back and this picture was snapped. She was
happy to see me! But now everyone can understand why I have not been working on
her much.
Although I am not working “on” her, I am working “off”
her. I finally received the NOS Lucas No. 41A mirrors. They took a couple days
longer to receive due to the snowstorms but I knew that when I bought them, so
it was not a worry. Instead, it was worth the wait! They look awesome!!
Next, my attention focuses on getting a pair of new
inner door fuzzy felt weatherstrips. The original strips are 26 inches long. I
cannot find where to get these…anywhere!!
They are the exact same strips that are on “Joe”, my
Midget, except the ones I need are 4 inches longer. Moss Motors and Victoria
British do not carry any long enough (or longer, so I can trim them to size).
So for now, I will scratch my head and ponder this dilemma.
Only four more weeks until spring arrives! Until
then, I will keep searching for the fuzzy strips and a rear view mirror. If anyone knows where I can get the fuzzy strips, please feel free to contact me or leave a comment. There
are only a few bits and pieces left to get on the “parts needed” list. It has
mainly dwindled down to just fasteners and hardware…and that is a good feeling!
Thanks for visiting.
Toddy
