Hi David,:)
Most clamps for pipe are measured in diameter.
Normally they specify a range between two diameters for example 35-42mm clamping range.
Have you picked up your bodywork yet?:D

Not yet. I am hoping to get an email soon. I am off next Friday so will ry and collect it then.

I managed to sort out the clips last night and I have also bought some exhaust bends. I will try and fabricate that before I get the bodywork.

I'm also working on the interior panelling and trimming the carpet to size as I can see this being a right pain once the bodykit is in place.

I think I'm going to have to buy more clamps and will defo need more than one set of eyes when it comes to aligning ang riveting the panels.

I'm not 100 percent how to mount the rear panel. I was expecting the back edge to join against the metal bar that runs alongside the tank. There is a good 5" of clearance so I may just have o attach it at the sides or make up some brackets.

Yes I feel a little overwelmed by the task of making this all fit. With regard to the rear panel I'm just using the sides for support and hope that the rear wings help support the rear panel.

I may also put a bit of ally sheet underneath to stop it acting like an air brake. This may make it a bit stronger.

Did Alan tell you about his dash and aero screen designs?
