Friday 19th June - Matching Spotlights!

 I struck lucky on ebay on Sunday and managed to find another Spotlight exactly the same as the two Lucas ones that I had on the Lotus Cortina already. 
I purchased it instantly and luckily, it arrived today. I was home from work at a decent hour, so this was my first job when I went into the garage. It didn't take long to fit it and I was very pleased with the look. 

With this done I then set about making a throttle bracket to hold the end of the inner cable and also a throttle return spring. After plenty of drilling, angle grinding, filing and sweating I had the basis of what I wanted. It was still very warm and sunny, so I gave it a couple of coats of silver paint and left it to dry. I would finish it off the next morning. 😊
