yes standard 7" lights fit, don't bother with sealed beam (two glow worms in a tin) but get the bulb type, if nowhere else do a search for fiat X1/9 parts will find you some headlights for you, £35 each for new ones last time i looked, cheaper second hand (if there are any left) but not dear or difficult to find. I resprayed my wellers myself and they still look good a year on, i have been to spray shops and spoken to the sprayers if they do back handers, most do and will do a decent job.

Hiya try your local motorcycle shop, many bikers have wheels painted and have good idea of better deals.<br />
I have explored my local industrial estates the older the better, and found exhaust pipe benders, welders, carpet warehouse.<br />
They have all done little jobs as fill-ins and taken CASH even given me all my carpet for free.<br />
All my carpet was edged for a tenner. and exhaust welding a tenner.<br />

Well Headlights done! Photo below. The iridium lenses look quite good with the yellowish gel coat. Only downside was the fixing ring had resuted away so ordered pair of new bowl kits only needed the ring in the end so bowls etc added to phaeton parts pile.<br />
<br />
Had result with the handbrake cable. Finally got the car of the floor and found that the cable had slipped out of the bracket just in front of the axle. So the £6 ebay bargain can be added to the phaeton parts pile.<br />

On the downside getting under the car meant i got up close and personal with all the rust on the chasis so i think a wire brush and hammerite session due shortly.

Hi Tim, Mk1 and 2 are the same cable as I remember, if your cable goes into the stupid rubber adjuster.<br />
The 7" headlamps on a mini are the same old mimi that is, as they are both the old Lucas type.<br />
They is a company at westhoughton that does powder coating, VANDEN Powder Coating Ltd, 01942818953. No idea what it would cost.
