Hello Folks,

     I need your help in putting the final details on a BJ8 RH drive car,
built in Feb. 1967.

I am trying to make it as accurate as I can. Unfortunately I inherited the
restoration form
another restorer and many parts were missing. I have the following questions:

1. Is the curved piece of the radiator that goes over the blades always red?
2. Did AH use a black plastic oil fill cap? Or is the correct one the metal
one with the wire cable attached?
3. Was the choke cables covered with black plastic?
4. Towards the end of production did AH replace the valve covers labels
(Austin and valve adjustments)
   with stickers instead of rivet on labels?
5. What is the proper radiator cap? I have a metal one with a red plastic
button in the middle.

Many thanks,

Wes Keyes
York, Maine
