I would be interested as well, assuming they are the same for an Ace?
Good luck

Hi Uwe. Not sure why the numbering started with 2, but looks to be later production Mk. IV's '93-'94 production. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or now as some cars starting with the number 1 were made later.

Hi Nick. Thanks for the reply. I`m going to see if a fabricator can bend such heavy gauge steel.If so, as you say, it may be relatively easy. I`ll post if I find someone.

I have a 1950 DH with many of the same observations. 
1.  The hubcaps pry off with a large screwdriver.  They do screech a bit as they come off. 
2.  Mine is the same way and I haven't figured out how to fix it.  let me know if you find a solution.
3. Yes, you can move the steering wheel up or down.
4.  You can get an owners manual but beyond that I don't know
5. They have a very rough ride which smooths out as you go faster.  You may want to play with the shocks a bit by adding or subtracting discs.
6.  Have not played with a red line (newly rebuilt engine).   
7.  Mine cruises nicely at 100km.
8.  I rebuilt the engine in mine and it still drips a bit.  Old joke is that that is how you know they have oil in the pan.
9.  Mine has bucket seats so can't help you there
10. Previous comment of about a 1" play is right as far as I can tell. 

Hope this helps

It actually may not matter as mine has a good black face that I can probably transfer.

It is a black face gauge making up a quarter of the circular instrument pod.

When you say crunching gears are you indicating that all gears crunch? Do they crunch if you double declutch? If not then it is your synchro rings that need replacing or the oil is too thick.Some people think that gear oil goes into an old gearbox ie EP90 ,engine oil is used and 30 years ago I use ATF oil with a moss box for hillclimbes with overdrive for quicker change and to today it is still working with no issues.
    I suggest you drain the oil and replace with a modern 10/40 oil as an easy start to see if that helps
