Yes you probably have. I gave up on the manual by page 6. Logic formed by lots of head scratching and tea drinking is the way forward! And the collective know how of folks on here.

The beauty of building a kit car is that within the boundaries of the IVA rules we can fit the lights as we desire, and not end up with a tin-top clone. So my advice is to check the IVA rules and fit them how you like them, otherwise whats the point of building it yourself.

I've got a hard copy of the manual somewhere.
I could dig it out and check the dimensions for you of you like.
That bit of the manual was quite useful - setting the ride height at the rear and light positioning.
I agree about the rest of it - more of a reference document.

I'll dig it out of the garage at the weekend Tony.
Mine was the old version of the build manual.
I'll see if I get someone to scan the appropriate pages.

Tony - really sorry for the delay.
Did you get sorted ?
I've cleared the garage out now and found the manual if you still need the dimensions ?
