No need for it to be any more complex than that, no. Unless you want it to be adjustable from inside the car to suit the occasion.
Isn't there a chap from somewhere in Shropshire on the Dolomite forum who's building up a (orange as it happened) Sprint to which he was planning to fit a Corsa-derived epas setup? Can't remember who that was as It's about two years since I was a member there but I think the guy I have in mind is or was running a maroon Toledo with an Opel Rekord/Vauxhall Carlton OHC engine.

sorry, I need to check my glasses. That should be all that's needed to get it to work

It looks more like a car than a wreck at last All the doors are rebuilt, bar wood and cards, but I may re-varnish the caps before refitting as the old varnish is coming off in places. Considering everything was refitted with the doors hung, I've come out of it relatively unscathed, one small paper cut from just catching the edge of door skin, and a skinned knuckle from when the window came down trying to get the winder back in Just need to tweak the alignments now the seals are on.

OMG, look, some bits that aren't orange! have you checked the MOT guide to see if you can paint the sidelights?

That is looking good (and very, very orange). At this rate you'll be back on the road by the weekend.

Oh. Ohhhh. Uhh. Ah. Phwoooaaarrrggghh. Time for the old American sock trick methinks.

Not this weekend I'm afraid, got to run the outlaws around in the morning, go shopping Thursday as my cousin is visiting Friday from The States so I don't think I'll get much chance to do owt for rest of week. Mind, all being well, might get roof and tail panel painted this weekend, or beginning of next week

And now I'm caught up with this thread. I very nearly confused this car with that of Alolympic over on Retro Rides for he has a BRIGHT ORANGE Triumph, but then I paid attention to the dates on the posts, and the fact that his is a Toledo... I'm being a mega-derp just lately.

Looking great & very 70's

My own Dolomite will be getting similar treatment but definitely NOT that colour. A toss up between Sienna, Damson or Sapphire.

The colour suits it - nice job
