Frankly, I'm going to try! But we've just setup a new business and are in the process of starting another one so I am going to struggle to
find any time!

Is it ok to mount the fuel tank like that? will the brackets not fatigue over time leading to the tank leaking? I ask because if its ok then it makes
my fuel tank install a lot easer.

It's a fair question. In my case, there's eight fixings - all isolated with large rubber washers - hence the loads are fairly well spread.
Further, it's a race car so will be inspected roughly every hour of running. I have few worries on this front but we'll see.

looks sweet, my filter is going to stick up a bit to, but im a little worried about the forward vision of the IVA, the way to work it out is not the
clearest to understand

I'm not having to consider IVA as its a race car but visibility is still quite important (and a little concerning as I'm only used to
driving cycle-winged cars on-track.)

Hopefully they just fit on folks' screens.

Hello All,
I have no idea why my old images don’t appear. In any case, I thought this thread might be worth a quick update since I sort-of consider Phase 1 of
the car’s development complete having been featured in CKC. It’s been a minor ambition to get a car magazine featured since I started reading Fast
Car in 1996 so I guess that’s a bucket list item ticked.
I’ve also started to play around with the look - the roundels aren’t quite what I wanted - the plan was that they’d be more subtle but I used an
online supplier‘s design tool so screen-to-reality was always a bit of an unknown. In any case, I think they help the cars proportions. I’m hoping
that UK/Welsh Govt regs mean that my planned Silverstone GP trackday can go ahead at the end of the month and it’ll then be time to get modding for
IVA. First, today, I need to replace the clutch.
Hope everyone is staying healthy and solvent at the moment. It’s bl@@dy wild times.
