Looking good and a nice strong engine choice. I ran that engine in my single seater without any oiling problems due to the pickup design. Forgive me
if I’m teaching you to suck eggs but are you aware that fitting the GPZ 900 sump and pickup will allow you to lower the engine?

many thanks and yes i will use the gpz sump and pick up pluss its only for track days so new oil every time the plan is to cut my teeth on this one
then go for a zzr1400 one mid engine

had a good day on the chassis
decided to clamp the chassis down to the board and make sure its 100% true with no twists as im sure when the diagonal bars go in it will be almost
impossible to get back square

You're about at the same stage as me 
I noticed your u7 is in the wrong place, making the transmission tunnel wider. Don't know if this is by choice but would have thought
you'd have made it smaller, if anything, with a bike engine?

Had another good morning on the car got most of the chassis done its starting to look like a 7 now
http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag52/rick1962uk/Haynes%20kitcar%20Build/Picture014_zps56e6c8a1.jpg
i clamped every corner with these angle bars with 10mm studding to try to keep the warping down as low as i can im going to leave the wishbone
brackets untill last that way i can make sure they are all level even if the chassis is a bit out
Trouble is i have to get on with building some bikes so the kit will slow down for a few weeks

Hahahahaha
I got to a rolling chassis from steel tube in two weeks, and it took another three years to get on the road
I do wish you luck though, and I'm starting to think I may scratch build again seeing yours
