Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

Wind deflectors were made by my step father way-back-when I think.......unless he got them from Morgan.......

Hope you have nice sidelights to go on not the horrid rubbolights - shame to spoil such a lovely job with nasty cheap lights.

Hi Jonathan
Some ideas for side lights if wanted,search under side lights and look up thread started by Cosworthcabriolee 31/3/12
Can thoroughly recommend these as still looking good and working a treat

Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

I think you will find the Cabrio type are too big for a roadster. A cheap option is to use these number plate lights and carefully cut the hood off. http://www.holden.co.uk/displayprodu...&pCode=010.456
