Thanks to the link given on here, Tillie now has eyes!

Very pleased with them! - Inside is great, darkens it nicely to sleep in

Might struggle a bit on the motorway seeing anything... :D

Are you sure you need disks? It's more likely to have drums unless someone has converted them ;)

mechanic said it is the rim on the actual brake disk plates that has corroded quite a bit :cry:

Not sure exactly what you are describing? I'm guessing it's the backing plates for the drums?
Something like this:

Although these are probably the wrong year for yours, I'm sure someone on here can recommend a supplier that does them.

yep that's them (sorry tech terms!) - he said you can pick up the newer ones and convert them but its a bit of a ballache - better if i can find some early ones
