Started on the assembly today and checked out all the bits I have, I must say the kit comes with alot of brackets and plates that in my case I had to make during my Cobra buid.
After a quick look at the brake pipe routing options I have realised that this car is different to the one in the build manual (in relation to floor shape- which in turn changes how I need to route the pipes), in the following pic you can see the 2 options I have for routing.
In the above picture, the red line shows routing of brake pipes as per manual, in the manual the large square section chassis rail is not there, but the brake pipe routing follows where I have put the green line.
An option is to run it up inside the wheel arch (after cutting out a piece as per blue square) and follow the routing of the brown line.
The other option (my preferance) is to cut a piece out of the fill in panel between square chassis rail and floor.
In following picture you can see the filler panel between chassis rail and floor.
And follow the routing as per the green lines in first picture.
This then duplicates the routing as shown in the build CD
Can anyone see anything wrong with this thought?
After scratching around with that I made some templates for heatshields in the exhaust area's
All shields are made and I have riveted the L/H side in place.
This is the shielding for R/H side.
And here is the L/H side all in place.
Rear view.
And looking from the front.
And here it is on its home for the next few weekends.
