thanks guys ... its great to bounce things off the forum when the grey matter's failing....likin the dome nut on the outside and would be able to get chrome ones at custom fasteners.
... but then again maybe they are a bit chunky an only appear to be available in stainless.
Might be trending towards flange head dome bolts (top photo) or Flange Button Heads (middle photo) or Plain button heads. ( bottom photo) Plain button heads probs a bit small diameter , so reckon a flange button... matches all the stainless allens all over the shop.
Plain bog standard alloy rivets was my default and that would have looked rubbish.

Herald 13/60 convertible
Nice one Ewan.. If I was going to buy another classic car, that's what I would buy as they seem really practical. Or is that just rose coloured specs again 
Cheers ... AshD
Really could be doing with selling it Ash, need the space its taking up. Its a bit like a bike with 4 wheels

Tonight I thought I'd check the carbs over before bench syncing them. Main jets are 110, pilots are 40 and needles are in the middle groove and joy of joys ............the wee bolt that joins the carb slide to the lifting mechanism on one of the carbs sheared  ..... more time needed that wisnae planned for  ... luckily I have a spare carb body I can canabalise if the worst comes to the worst

great work Ewan,
I shall be very interested when its finished and running,
good luck,and keep us informed !!!
Thanks John, I'm sure there will be a few niggles along the way that I might need to ask the oracle about Today I realised that I'd left out one of oil o-rings that sits between the cyinder head and the barrels when I rebuilt the top end after I'd been in renewing the piston rings and fixing the cam chain adjuster... so had to strip the top end down again.... bugger

Baffled Exhausts & NHK 500 ODM Steering Damper on. Close up photos of the steering damper show left and right full locks (bearing in mind the steering stop was extended 10cm either way)
