[DMCForum] Re: Keeping It Original (Rich and Martin)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Are we talking about the same engineers who designed:
- Trailing arm attachment
- Door lock, cooling fan, and headlight circuits
- Crumple extension (whole sheet metal frame for that matter)
- 14" spare tire well
- Hard plastic hydraulic and vacuum lines
- Wheel speedometer interface rather than traditional transmission
interface
- Rivnuts
- Constantly illuminated A/C panel
- Glued headliners
- Plastic channel radiator with downhill bleed line
- Front fascia attachment
- C pillar trim panel and armrest extension

Boys in Dunmurry (Norwich, whatever) had a bit of trouble with mine,
so I've opted not to keep it so original.
