Chris,

Looking fine there my friend, a nice clean and tidy work shop.

Are you using a DOHC with MT75 per chance, due to the placement of U7?

Sorry this bit should be at the top hello and welcome enjoy the forum.

Cheers Ginge

I didn't notice that my U7 was in the wrong place untill the chassis was fully welded
Just as well I hadn't cut the scrap section from the bottom rail

I only noticed when I measured up for the pedal box & things just didnt add up !!??

Welcome to the forum Chris m
It certainly looks as if you have made some good progress
