fastening at the bottom( behind where number plate eoould go!) if at all, your thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated,cheers, kev. oh and a

Kev,
Mine has a ally plate bolted under the bottom of the front chassis rails. It then turns up at the front, just enough to bolt the bottom of the nose
cone to. Sorry no pics
Car looks great by the way!

Where did you get the mirrors from ?

The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

Here is how I fixed the bottom of my nose cone. Hopefully you can see two zinc plated hinges, riveted to the underside of the chassis rail and then
bolted to the return on the nose cone. The top is bolted down into the top of the chassis rails.
 
Hinge Indy Nose
Hope that helps.

Nice Mirrors BTW!!!

This picture shows the first stage of how we fitted the nosecone. The second stage was to cut the aluminium just before it meets the GRP and fit a
piano hinge (unfortunately no picture)
