Hi Alberto Sorry I can't measure 01616's trunk space as all fibreglass (& every nut & bolt) are still out but here it is in UK 'Motor' 10 July...
Thank you Rob, I knew I could rely on you! I was hoping they were original (sure look it underneath) but also look like they've been off at some...
We're doing the inner sills on #01616GT. Anyone know if these 2 straight folds are correct or is the profile a gentle curve to the floor on M...
If Doug Nye said it, it must be true. [ATTACH]
01616 GT (UK rhd ex-factory 8 March 71) has brass tank with the sharp angle lower pipe [ATTACH]
Thanks Dave, agree entirely. Core will be made strapless with max fin count to same overall size as in Rob's advice.
Many thanks Rob. Obviously no straps originally. The shop suggested a strap each side - see white line I've added to your pic - to prevent...
#01616's radiator is having a re-core. The shop has recommended 1 or 2 vertical strips on each side on the core, joined to the top and bottom C...
Thanks Andrew. PM me if you're ever down here. Anyone measured M series gap? Cheers, Vince

Many thanks Ryan. Will contact them for more info. Cheers, Vince
These 2 closeups show a rear lid bump stop on 01616 (Sept '71 Motorsport) different from the usual front & engine lid stop. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Looks like Cicognani's sponge profile sp1 was also used on the sides of the boot (trunk) here on 01616. Any ideas of what was used for the rear...
Hi Paul I can bring 01616's rubber trim (from 1978) to your car if needed. Same H profile as in the Cicognani pic. It definitely looks...
You're right about later M cars Iain. RHD #01616 has the early foot pads with the wide pattern footrest, as in UK Motorsport Sept '71. Notice the...
With everything apart check the rest of the housing to see how much rot it has as this may be a good time to replace everything. Nuvolari's...
Can't help with supplier, Paul, but here's my sticker: I assume the top line reads: Non scambiare i cavi 15 e 67 Translated: Do not swap the...
