some times new mounts can be a right pain to fit, are the genuine ones?

as some after market ones are a totally diffrent size ive had that before when trying to get teh subframe to conect to the toe board.

this is deffently one hell of a build and im loving it, keep up the progress.

i was wondering if you had a picture of one of your setas with the covers on :o

So i decided on a digital speedo, went for the ETB unit as ive seen them in Z cars minis and i was really impressed.

It should be good i hope, might be a bit of a challenge wiring up though

Awesome build mate, looks stunning... and no expense spared.

Made an 8 hour trip to Le mans in a Caterham that had Kirkeys... was surprisingly comfortable even without padding

Got the subframe sorted! It was a bit bent where someone before me had used it as a jacking point so thats why the mounts werent lining up.
