I'm liking that a lot. Heat wouldn't be an issue in NZ; don't know about Cairns... |

That would look great with a little bedazzling.
Nice work, it looks really professional! Could be useful down here at the moment... |

they are designed to stop the carb from icing on the cold mornings or when you are driving through the snow. |

I have completely covered the grill on my Morris 1100 with black plastic, it looks surprisingly good. But the carby cutting out on minus 5° mornings still continues. The difference is that it recovers quicker. |
