    68 RHD Brake piping & fuel tank questions.

The plastic has some scratches & would probably benefit from a paint. The rubber buffer is missing but would be easy...

    Hi. Here is an early bay front bumper centre section which is very very solid & straight! It has the irons on it and also the plastic trim pieces on the ends. There are two small creases on the bottom side near the irons but these are barely visible in the picures and would straighten easily...
