An hour each but little progress

After making some good progress on Saturday, Tim spent Sunday afternoon at the emirates (2-1 against ManU hoorah!) and we made little progress today.

Our first job was to rivet on one of the interior side panels that hide the chassis rails. However we had several questions that stopped us before we started - (a) we needed to work out which of the two harness points to use as we would need to cut a hole for them (b) we wanted to check with WF if it's OK to put a rivet just into the GRP as the body stands clear of the chassis rail at the top.

We then had a little fight trying and failing to tap some holes which I won't bore you with - then we decided to cut down the side mirror mounting lugs as the first of the jobs to fitting the windscreen - something we are not looking forward to. the wing mirrors are obviously off some production car and the mounting lugs are too long.

Even after cutting them back the mirror won't fit nicely in the windscreen pillar - it's hard to see what is fouling, but we suspect we need to file away some of the plastic surround as it is probably just a little too big diameter to fit nicely in the circular receptable moulded into the pillar.

We'll carry on tomorrow night.
