5B does exist on the 1500 but in a different form. If you imagine the top surface of 5B is pressed downward so it lies at the same height as 5A and forms a U shape between the rack mounting points, then the front and rear sides are filled in to add strength you end up with that in the 1500. I think this was done so you could fit a fan belt.

Sorry Chris I’m going to disagree. First the fan isn’t original anyway so painting it black for originality sake is pointless IMHO Painting the plastic fan will alter the plastics chemical make up and can make the part brittle depending on the paints chemical makeup. Also the paint will crack and peel overtime as the fan flex’s. Also, the contrasting yellow will remind one to keep their... |

Nice, I plan to use my car to bimble around Warwickshire countryside with the gf, but have uprated it to not feel like a target on the motorway, trying so very hard to not turn it into a racer as I know after spending a fortune it will still be slow ! |

Malcolm I have a copy of Daniel Stapleton's book and dip into it from time to time but it is aimed more at the all-out racer. I should probably have looked to see what he says about the issue before posting.
