Hi all, I'm back now after nearly a year following open heart surgery and I have restarted my restoration again. However in my current phase of prepping everything I can so that I am doing bench work instead of crawling all over the car yet, I have come across a problem which hopefully someone can help me with. A while ago I bought the last set of new wood offered by an old boy in Cornwall which looks brilliant. Unfortunately when I dug out the main panel for the speedo and rev counter I discovered that it must be a wood set from an earlier car which did not have a choke. I therefore need to cut a slot for the choke and drill a hole for the light in my dash piece and have been trying to find a suitable expert to do the job. ( the chances of me doing it without chipping the veneer is Nil.) I live in Manchester but would travel to get it done properly so if anyone can recommend a professional I would be grateful as I have scoured the club magazine without any joy. Fingers crossed.

Try dropping Ken Jenkins (contact details in the mag) an email. Ken is bound to have come across similar issues before. Mike.

Good idea, message sent to Ken. Fingers crossed. Thx Tony

Unfortunately, I did not get any responses to my request so had to have a go myself. Didn't turn out too bad but hopefully never again.
