Hello again,

I'm working on my friends 1954 AH100-4 and have a few more originality 
questions.  As always, feel free to answer any of the questions.

1.  The dash securing screw in the center of the dash.  What does it screw 
into?  I have the
     bracket behind the dash, but the hole is just a bit smaller that a dime. 
 Is there something
     that fits into the hole that the screw screws into?

2.  The vertical, removeable, steel panel in front of the gearbox cover.  Are 
the "feet' at the bottom of this
     panel suppose to sit on the frame?  Do the screws that hold this panel 
on go in with the point of the
     screw pointing towards the front of the car?  The drawing in the Moss 
catalog shows this panel as
     having sides that curve around the kick panels with the screws going in 
pointing towards the side of 
     the car.  My panel is roughly flat except the flange of the curve that 
fits over the gearbox.  My panel is
     missing the rubber seal that fitsbetween the curve of the panel and the 
gearbox body.  Moss shows
     that rubber piece as held on with rivets, but, my panel has not holds in 
it from rivets.  Hmmm.   And, the
     British Sportscar Specialists Kilmartin parts catalogue shows this panel 
as having "legs" of 2 3/4" and 
     3 1/2", but mine are both 2 3/4".  Hmmm.  Ideas as to what's up?

3.  The removeable driveshaft cover that fits between the big gearbox cover 
and the non-removeable driveshaft
      cover.  How well does this usually fit?  Mine fits fairly well to the 
non-removeable cover, but pretty poorly
      to the gearbox cover.  Big gap on the passenger side.

4.  The thin metal plates with holes in them for maounting the seats.  Do 
they go on the top of the floor or
     underneath against the underside of the floor?

5.  Does anyone sell the two clutch linkage rod?  Mine are way worn at the 
ends, creating lots of play.

Thanks gang!
