You might be interested in the side lights I fitted to my Roadster - see Pitstop Aug/Sept 2010, page 16.

Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

Hi Cameron. What colour are these lights when on? I have LED bulbs in the original rubber units with chrome bezels as fitted by Marlin. My bulbs show a noticably more blue light compared with the QHz headlights and I would prefer something that matched better. Peter.

Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

I have ordinary tungsten bulbs which are normal yellowy white and look fab (yes - all as in link from rooha - I used some repeaters from a ford fiesta I had lying around as they had suitable bulbs and bulb holders)

Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

Not the best of weather this weekend so limited to a few detailing jobs in the garage......a few more accessories added, under the bonnet work, numberplate and initial side lights (may change to alternative type at a later date).

Looking excellent!

Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

More trim fitted.....all the door brightwork, catch and inner trim panel fitted along with some other small (time consuming) jobs. It is at this point I realise the extent of my ocd with an interest in leaving all the screws with slots facing the same way....hmmmm

Hopefully more inner trim fitting tomorrow.....

Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB

55 years ago my old woodworking teacher would crack you over the knuckles if the screw slots did not all face the same way, and I still do so to this day.
