I'm also going to need new inner rubber and outer plastic belt covers if anyone has any as mine have cracked.
My covers were dark grey but I used a dark grey Smoothrite rather than colour match.

While you've got it in bits, have a look on some of the plastics or footrest hangers for the manufacture date code. Mine is 4/93 in most places so a def early build! Chassis numbers were very random.....
