Thumbs up Well done...

Carl,

a great achievement. You must be grinning from ear to ear.

To help other builders;
  • What were the head lamps from Rally Design that would have caused a fail?
  • How close were the wing stays to the brake caliper union?
Nice looking build, well done.

Thanks guys, they were the dominator type lamps i will be speaking to rally design about them it could be aone off so dont bouycot a good company just because of one foul up.

the wing stays were about 10 mm away and could have done with double that we just cut a notch into them and welded the into a web to regain the strength

The headlamps from RD had a notch in the bottom of the lense and casing to prevent them being rotated and olny one screw hole and one clip opposite it to hold them in so no adjustment :$

thanks guys take a read of my other post RE Saturn in the General discussion area, I feel I didnt do them justice with my post last night they put alot of hard work into helping me finish my build.
