here the rest of us are trying to figure out the proper way to jack up our
cars, and Vic is worried about which way the hazard knob points. I think his
restoration is more advanced than ours ...
:)
re the "turned" fuel filler cap, I would guess that it was just a hasty
Monday morning/Friday afternoon piece of work by a member of the superb
British Leyland work force ... If it was turned, it would be harded to fuel
from one side than the other, increasing the likelihood of scratching the
flawless paint applied by the superb British Leyland work force.
BTW, welcome to the list!

PS: I am seriously concerned about the Mariners. The only team they can beat
is the Yankees. I plan to leave negative feedback on their Web site.

Subject: Details
Listers,
I have (3) nit-picking detail questions. No, my car is not concours, but
I'd like to
know what's correct.
1. A 1975 factory sales brochure shows the fuel filler cap "turned" at an
angle as
opposed to parallel to the trunk/body seam as mine currently is. I
have
seen
them both ways at car shows. Which is correct ?
2. What orientation should the triangle on the hazard knob have ? Point up
? down?
3. The same brochure shows a heavy, plated/polished trim moulding on the
outside
of the soft top where it attaches to the body. It is not the piece
that
secures the
top to the body. All photos are of left-hand drive models. I've never
seen this
moulding. Can anyone explain ?
Thanks to all who respond. I am relatively new to the list. It is quite
entertaining and
informative. How 'bout them Mets ?
Regards,
Vic Snively
