Have a look on ClassicCarLEDs .co.uk they sell the rings and I've had fantastic experience with their customer service. I did a similar thing on my daily driver, freeing up much needed 6v amps using LEDs in the rear and side lights but NOS Phillips headlight bulbs and indicator bulbs.

I forgot I have a photo. As well as the blown plastic buck seats found in the Alpine A110 and Simca Rallye, Mod' Plastia also made extremely comfortable chairs and sofas that look like stylish nut sacks.

@bluebookvalue.bsky.social's post about seats reminds me that despite looking as dull as dishwater the Renault 30 TS had a really pleasant interior that gives retro Hi-Fi vibes

The Mosquito has it's original Mini handbrake lever but re-engineered to become a dual pivot handbrake. After being applied the lever folds down and the button retracts making it impossible to accidentally release the handbrake while getting in or out.
