    I have also reached out to EFD to see what they have available. I have a funny feeling that this is going to turn in to a much more to extensive project than I previously intended, but isn't that how it goes?
    Here are some photos of one of my Mk I*** bolt heads, as promised.

    Unfortunately I believe the gentleman who ran EFD passed away a couple of years ago. It would make restorations so much easier if resources like him were still around.
