First holes drilled! The wishbones are built up first and assembled to their brackets. One hole is drilled for each bracket and then these are used as a jig to drill the remaining holes. |
Fully built up with the AP Racing brakes which will be more than up to the job of stopping such a lightweight machine! |
Rear wishbone brackets fitted to the tub, these were a real pain to get in as the other side of the panels were blind and in closed sections of the monocoque. I had to slightly enlarge the access holes as there wasn't a small person about to help me! |
Rear wishbones fitted up along with rear dampers and their top mounts. |
Finally the tie rods were fitted. The rear hubs don't go on until the engine is in and the driveshafts are fitted. |
|
Master cylinders fitted... |
...and then pedals! They are all supplied with the kit and replace the Metro ones |
Here you can see the pedal support brace in the foreground |
Finally the steering column is mounted. I think the designers of this kit were tiny as I am having real difficulties getting access inside the closed sections of the body to do up nuts... |
Heat proofing the firewall from the exhaust header |
|
Front rigid and flexi hoses fitting, bit of tidying up still to do with them but at least the main line is securely clipped inside the tunnel. |
