Glove box light?
The Sands Spyder should have squared-off headlight covers....
If you re-plate them in nickel, make sure your plater understands and mitigates hydrogen embrittlement.
SN 14389 had nickel on the A-arms when I took it apart. I am the second owner and it had not been gone through before.... as far as I know.

I drive mine too but, for me, keeping it correct is a big part of the fun!

Some time around late 1971 the factory started changing over to square end switch arms. The square ends are clearly shown in the "ADDITIONAL...
I used HVL leather in a recent Daytona restoration. Thick and challenging to work with, but nice stuff. Henk cares about getting it right. [ATTACH]
14389 firewall later in the process .. But still fiberglass. [ATTACH]
