Sorry for the rust but it rained at Stanford Hall.

 

it allows me to tighten things without marking the floor.

Popped over to Loton Park today to pick up some slicks for the rear and have a chat with the Scrutiners. Got some welding to do.

Ohhh

time to make sure the structure is in place between wheel centers.

What have you bought Nick?

[nicklouse]

Need to replace some of the unitary construction of the vehicle.

 

the understanding of the rules is different in the south.

So the box contents plus clips.

then some marking up.

cutting will happen later as the local club has a charity car show they want it at.

 

thinking of fitting the indicators and a clothes hanger aerial.

What do your dry deck pipes go to in the bottom left of the picture?

Ahh yes, used to seeing that on the right.
Looks like it fits in better where you've got it too.

After lots and lots of thought re the way the MSA regs are read down here in the South I have decided to go back to a steel front with a split over the wheel center rather than cutting the fiber front.

I noticed on Bull Motives web site that had some possible suitable front panels one being a skin and the other a front without bumper lip. First thought was to go for the lowest cost as I had not understood what the other part was.

on arrival it was made clear that one was just a skin and the other had the extra bits.

 

so what is a 90 quid front panel like. Well I will be cutting away most of it but the front mounts will help with the positioning. Also as I found with the fiber front I did need to cut away a lot of material to clear the tyres. Which left gaps. Easier for me to sort with metal.

 

anyway some pics. Oh I did not ask who made the panels.

for me they will be fine as most will be cut away.

Looks fine to me.Would take some serious skills to make it from scratch.Looking forwards to your progress.Steve..

Still not got the space to stick that lot together. But an Xmas present to me arrived the other day.

Things have been a bit quite here with lack of work unit and the need to move things about.

 

that’s about to change
