Bodywork

[EVguru]

Well, I asked for it so I'd better post in it.

How many people have damaged body panels on their Dart?

I'm planning to put a set of Freccia C12 panels on my Dart in the short term, but I'm looking to create moulds for the originals in the long term.

Might be interested in some spares - is this off the original Morini ones or the C12? If you ever get that far....& dependant on costs I guess.

Do C12 panels fit on - aren't the mirrors on the bodywork rather than on stems like a PASO? Or in fact any Freccia panels fit straight away - are these easier to source?

If I do get around to making moulds, it will be for the original panels.

The rear sections, tank cover, and windscreen panels from a Freccia C9 are the same as a Dart and the tank cover from a C10 or C12 can be modified to fit. Freccias are a little easier to find than Darts, but mostly only C10/12s. They were never that common in the UK because they were over the learner power limit.

To fit a complete set of C10 or C12 bodywork you need the matching headlamp/instrument subframe.
