The 1970 Bristol 411 which is in with Bridge Classic Cars to have its left-hand drive conversion done has been worked on by the workshop to complete some of the smaller jobs.
The team have reassembled the dashboard with the various dials and switches fitted back into the wooden surround.
In the engine bay, the team have fit up several new hoses to the classic Bristols V8 engine. The first is the new power steering hoses for the PAS system as part of its left-hand drive conversion with a custom-made steering rack. The hoses for this were made by a local specialist company who we have a good relationship with and have all been properly tested before being fit to the car.
Next, the team could route the new radiator hoses. This were changed over as standard procedure and some small changes to routing due to the PAS system.

This involved removing the interior and some of the carpet in order to fully chase the old harness and make a full map of the wiring.

The glovebox has had a new lighting system installed into the car to take into account the change over in drivers sides. The team carefully cut the opening for the system to be installed flush and cleanly into the one-off Bristol 411.
