Thanks heavens for that! I’ve finally finished all the panelling. That is, I’ve finished off the pedal box cover which is as shown in the photo.
As you can see, I put the fuel tank back in so that there front end of the car now looks to be aluminium as far as the eye can see.
OK, I admit it, there will still be a couple of leetle aluminium bits to do, in particular to seal off the inside of the car inside the sidepods and the central tub. However, I can’t really do those before I’m absolutely sure about the bodywork fit so I’ll leave that for a while. Next up is going to be doing the electrics. I’ve got all of this sorted out so it’s just going to be a few hours putting all the wires in place. Along the way, there’ll be lots of brackets to make to mount things like the battery and the master switch. Still, shouldn’t take too long. After that, I can start the engine!
Glad to see you managed to use some tie wraps in the fuel tank installation after all 😉
I assume you’ll be dealing with the potential abrasion of those straps once it’s all plumbed in.
Looking good, Tim. Won’t be long now… and we know starting the engine always gives you a boost!

There’s bungy foam on the inside of those straps already. That’s what I’ve always done in the past and it works fine.
