Progress & what other brackets do I

Head lights are mounted

I want to get the chassis painted in the next week or so so....

Hard to tell from the pic but what other brackets do I need to add ? What have I missed that needs welding on.

Engine and rad fully mounted ect I am thinking of the little things.

Front brake flex hoses I was going to mount on the fiber glass side panels.

Is that good practice ?

cheers for looking.

Re front brake flexi's - thats fine.

I think you've got it pretty much sorted.

Maybe you could add a couple of M6x25 bolts welded to the chassis in a couple of places (front end/under dash/back end) for earth points?

Cheers,
Steve

Tabs for the front brake flexis? (assuming that you're going to fix them to the chassis and not the bodywork).
