Michael, I`m in Hospital on Thursday the 5th and will be off work for a while too, Will watch for your updates also i built my k series roadsport from a kit a while ago but i will give you my phone number if you need any advice cheeper than the caterham help line No.
1 st tip Nip down to wicks or B&Q get some 15mm pipe insulation great for popping round chassis tubes to protect them when fitting engine also wishbones too.
2nd tip before you fit the rack pop some heatshrink on the exposed metal steering rods as they rust once you start using the 7 good for stone protection too.
3rd tip, if using masking tape on the paint work stick it to your jeans/overalls first, it reduces the stickyness but i also reduces the risk of the paint lifting when you remove it.
Thanks Mike. Very clear photos and it is interesting to note to difference in the builds with Martin B's photos (use of clips etc).
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading your blog.
Simon
