Yes Metro, Matt I counter sunk the holes on mine so the cap heads sat nice and flush!


I'll be using Ti studs, with K nuts. But good idea.

Looking good pal. How far off are you?

Had mine turning over yesterday so should hopefully have it running in a couple of days. Just need Brett to pull his finger out and come help me haha.


I'm miles away yet. The dry build it taking ages. I'm just waiting for my new clubby front end, then I can mock it all up. Then hopefully get it to paint by mid July.

Looking good

Just one question about the shell weight at 133 kg was that with the carbon roof, carbon boot floor and rear parcel shelf or was it with the steel roof, boot floor and rear parcel shelf or was it with all them removed?

Cheers

Well good news. It all fits under the clubby front. Ater a few hours fettling, the front should hopefully fit quite well. Maybe need to add some support brackets to the inner wings though.

Small update, nothing really progressed. Been side tracked with mountain biking. Few bits have turned up.



















Already planning engine no2.

Thanks

I'm buying new wheels, 1/2" wider. My 5.5 x 10 v2 will be up for sale. £450 inc tyres, less than 1000miles.

The arches still need cutting down 1/2" in the picture above.
