Well, not as much progress today as I would have liked, rear wheel arches on, gear linkage finished, bit more plumbing done...
Had to turn the reverse box around as the lever fouled the chassis...
Cycle wings fould the wheels as they are too wide...

Latest Pics
Rear Arches are on, rear lights on the wings still need to fit num plate light, reverse and fog lights..
Gear Linkage finished, engine wiring finished, some plumbing started...
Frint prop arrives monday, rear torque resiliant tube prop in, and VERY tight fit, only 2-3 mm clearence ate present so we may have to mod the tunnel
very slightly just to give more clearence...

Yeah its not bad at all... Spent 2.5 hours wiring and fitting the rear lights on saturday morning, and only managed 4 lights fitted and only 2
wired... its surprising how much time the finishing touches take...
I would say its taken about 68 hours from me so far and about 10-15 from MNR staff not including the time Marc himself has spent on it doing the
techie stuff... (geometry, rear wishbones, front suspension etc)
One thing to watch out for is the wheels tho...
My ET37 (designed for ford apparently) 7x15 inch wheels foul the fron cycle wing brackets so Marc is having to make some custom ones...
I would suggest staying away from 7x15 wheels or using a smaller offset, say ET18 peugot size if you want to persist with them...
PS. The headlights are on, but not tightened yet, they are droopy making the car look sad... I am sure it will be happier when its finished... next
week?

the sender is on the side of the reverse box and there should be 2 wires conveniently position if you have placed your loom correctly...

Please G-Man, Don't do a 'Rizla' with the stickers - It will ruin the power to weight ratio
