Good to see it coming along David.
Can you tell me more about your gear lever gaiter surround? I need to do something similar.
Did you fab it yourself or was it a purchase?
Cheers
Iain

It's looking like a very smart final build ' up the road a little ' , a huge amount of preparation on tintops though compared to my little beast.

Re: DW's Sapphire Cosworth race car

Using my steel bootlid until a fibreglass one can be fitted. I am going to cut out as much internal skin as pos so that it is fairly light. This will serve as a good spare too as it will be fitted on pins and be interchangeable with the glass one

Cheers, supposedly a Graham Hathaway rear beam with std arms. No money for adjustable arms yet.

Yes thats the one Joe, good to know cheers. Did it still run normal ride height or a bit lower as this looks like it might wanna drop down say 10mm compared to the old one?
