Its the same width as the haynes roadster chassis but the tunnel is wider. I drove a formula silverstone last weekend which has the same amount of
room in the footwell and i coped alright

I havent been able to make them jet (see other post) so i thought it would be easier to paint the middle and back on my day off in the sunshine and
just paint the front when i have got the brackets.

Nearly at that stage myself, but bearing in mind your choice of  engine, do you think you may need a bit more bracing than TR1 can provide? Now I
have no knowledge of beam theory (bought a good book, but almost died when I tried to read it)... but if you have a look at this thread
http://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3478
scroll down to seven sw... what do you think to their replacement. Might be something to think about.

don't want to pee on your bonfire... but there's a bit to go before it's finished... add all the brackets before you paint ...
nose cone mounts , centre prop bearing, tsteering column mounts and on and on and on...
I've read the horror stories re grinding off the powder coat...
looks good though...

Hey clockwork your sig with the car builders info took me to a site where one of these virus scan type things starts up. AVG picked it up as a trojan
downloader. ?????? it was on the interiors part of the site.
If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.
