Hi Rich,
Many thanks for the photos (if it counts please take my respect - very hi
standard of work). Unfortunatly my Longbridge BN4 is a bit different in many
places. For example the rear wheel bay is covered in leathercloth rather
than carpet - the whole thing looks different there. Or the leg-room outter
side cover is a one-piece and not a two piece item, but its more or less
detail. After a bit os struggling, now I see my guidelines.
Again many thanks for all who helped me!
