Quick update from today, me and my dad fitted the bonnet aerocatches, went rather smoothly, I thought it was going to be tricky but turned out sweet







Next weeks job is to try and remember what's going on here

I used 4 as the Saturn bodywork doesn't have a lip at the front.
Looking great btw.

Did you make your steering wheel boss??

yeah the bonnet has some little lugs that locate in the nose cone, there not that big though so i'm going to add a couple of long pins on the bonnet edge just to be on the safe side, i will take some pics when i do

I managed to get an rs boss for 99p a while back that fitted my aftermarket wheel but they cost silly money now so there might be a market for them....

I used two aero Aero Catches in the same position as Rosco but also used these at the front:

Not the cheapest but works well and looks clean.

Bit of an update, I've been flat out with every bit of spare time trying to get this thing somewhere near finished

I drew this up and made one, it's so I can use the bike fuel filler cap so the keys the same for the ignition and the tank



It was quite tricky to draw it up but turned out great





Started on an oil catch tank from an alu water bottle
