Make a bolt-on panel to cover it, then unbolt it after the test.

Went around for the flanges tonight he had not had chance to do them.  But  He said he could bend my box section at his mates so not all bad news, i have to settle on a rear body shape now  Not sure what to do here i cant even see the thing in profile at the moment its that wedged in  . So its a pencil and photoshop to decide  Amateur or what ? Are we daunted? Are we heck as like onward and upward that's us There i sound confident  . But i am not.     |

No problems with exterior exhausts, only down to radii again. Most Lotus 7 type kits run o/s and still pass BIVA.

Well! I think so My mate who is supposed to be cutting me the exhaust flanges, says he can get it done. So i am sort of resigned to spend a little money and have it done that way, But this is all in the balance, my mate he is a good lad with a ig heart but he has a business he is trying to keep going and more problems at the moment in his personal life than you could shake a stick at. So we will wait and see, just how it pans out. It will be done good sir, the North is a survivor and if i have to chop the flanges out with the oxy and grind them tidy i will or even drill them out and grind then, done it before and can again if needs must. |

It would be a proper 30s special based on a Y. From my point of view as stated its a needs must thing with me, or should i say it was initially now i have a drive established to see it through. My problem is i have too many irons in the fire and day to day life keeps getting in the way. i am not a greedy man just bless me with a little money i don't need 17 million like a lottery winner 1 million will do honest. |
