Fitted the second ORA radius guard to the front. Yet to drill the securing bolts, but that can come later next week. Tomorrow will be one of the rears, leaving hopefully the final rear for Monday (I only have lunch times to work on it at the moment).

A bit worrying, despite it being jet washed almost every week, is the amount of mud that builds up in the radius arm brackets (and under the car in general). Lots of small pockets of wet mud. No wonder these things rust in the UK :angry:

Next Summer I am going to get a shot blast kit and sand blast the brackets out (along with a few other areas) and Hammerite.

Final fit of spots:

Not happy about the route but without drilling and the annoying fact I threw away the old broken aerial, it will do for now.

Have to see about wind noise.

Relay mounted nice and high via a bracket I found laying around:

Pick up from the high beam trigger (for those of you like me who puzzled about this .. it is the red one with a scattering of sliver horizontal bands).

Next on the list a switch for them .. also I did read a thread some place around the forum that mentioned a table on the rear door and had a light-bulb moment re washing-line props, a poncho, para cord, jubilee clips and carabiner combining for a retractable cover over open rear door from the roof rails...
