Yeah i kinda thought that would be the response, as you say kiwi, we have racks of the stuff at work and they dont mind off cuts 'dissapearing' he he.
Shall have to find a local chromer then. Am i right in thinking that Martin Kenan is the man behind MK sportscars? Ash, Yeah there where a few things i fancied changing on the zero kit if i got one. It deffinatly wouldn't have just been a 'start bolting panels on' kinda thing. Might i ask what caught your eye on the kit? Cheers Chris

things i didnt like about the zero
Rear lower wishbones are of a ladder design with no triangulation. poor balljoint fixing on front lower wishbones. mixture of rhs and tube on the main frame, looks like a cost cutting exercise as it doesnt add any strength. wheel arches and nose cone fg from what i have seen at the shows is half the thickness of other peoples. then to finish off all the lights and fixtures and fittings are or look like cheep out dated tat. at the end of the day you get what you pay for. you can buy a zero build it and drive it for very little money but something has to give to do it soo cheeply my real gripe is i cant see why some of the bits on it are done so poorly when it wouldnt cost any more to do it properly. specific example being the rear lower wishbones.

Ah i'm not the only one then, theres something about the look of the front wishbones that just doesn't look right to me aswell, i suppose something to do with the main force being carried through a single tube in compression/tension.
Hmm, gonna have to shift my last couple of projects and get on with this i reckon. Might have to give the tintop an overhaul first though. Some much to do so little time. Chris
