Hi all, well had a couple of good weekends on the chassis and I am hoping to have it on wheels next weekend ready to locate the engine and start on the engine mounts, the brain fart occurred today, I was welding in the brackets for the handbrake and did so without consulting the manual, so we will just call it an extra stiffening bracket.
Yes you guessed right I put the rear one int the wrong place, instead of measuring the distance needed from the rear edge of the front bracket, i just pushed it all the way to the back and welded it in, so I will cut another one tomorrow in work and weld it in during the week.

LESS HASTE LESS WASTE.

You got away lightly with that. A few months back I'd just finished welding the steering column mounting plates on when the landlord walks in and 'says haven't you finished that yet, thought he was coming to collect that tomorrow from France?' and it was then that I thought 'oh bollocks I've built the tunnel and the column mount on the WRONG side of the chassis!'
