.. next week and my plan is to finally get in the garage and start building this car.
Now for the numpty questions.. I haven't bought any nuts/bolts etc yet so want to place an order before the weekend so they are here next week.
What do I need to order? And any suggestions where from? I dont know of any local places (Worcester).
Plan is to do following:
- attach floor panel: what rivets as I recall people saying that the ones supplied by MK are the open type.
- attach wishbones: what strength of steel should these bolts be and which type?
- attach uprights: got raceleda ones, are these different in fitting?
- run brake lines: thinking braided all the way through. Is there any reason (bar cost) not to?
- run fuel lines
- attach fuel tank: rivets OK for this?
I think you would want to bolt the fuel tank in so it can be removed if nesersary
8.8 bolts..
Rivenuts+ strap + rubber inner tube lining is how I fixed my tank (some have welded wings so you don't need straps).
I used some proper multigrip 4.2mm rivets from primary fasteners (phone them up very nice company).. These are sealed type but not
"closed"..
I used the rivets every 30mm/40mm +PU for the floor.. Some might say this is over kill but this the correct spacing for these fasteners..
