Do you still have the other seat belt mounts at the bottom of the rear bulkhead? Yep that's my next job. I used them to hold the trailer straps on the way home. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

Those gussets are a nice bit of fab, but won't they make it very difficult to work on the brake hoses and top arm pin plate? |

Apparantly there is loads of flex in that area. Edited by alaskanow0 on 14th Mar, 2015. Class C 3rd Place Avon 2011 14.18 @101mph |

Owens Fabrication sign is mounted on the dash bar, my existing carbon panel will be used on the shelf & yes bare shell without the roof and no cage would be 98kg approx.

Are you going to redo the repairs on the floor? Bound to be some weight to save there. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Repairs are were the safety devices plates have been cut out and replaced. Drivers side 1/2 sill has been prevously replaced, but I'm thinking off replacing both full outer sills to tidy it all up. I've got a small repair section next to the tunnel, from previous seat mount. The shell is all orginal, apart from that, and is looking rot free. Edited by alaskanow0 on 21st Mar, 2015.

Handbrake mechanism removed by KAD, hopefully should prove a little bit more reliable and not need constant adjustment.
