Limited Progress – 4 Hours

With so many items on backorder (hopefully these will be filled shortly), only limited progress can be made, basically this consists of fitting, drilling and temporally mounting of the aluminum panels.

Started today by working out the front caliper jigsaw puzzle, the first picture shows the various parts, fasteners, seals and pads included in the kit and the 2nd picture shows the completed assembly.


Also fitted both F-Panels experimenting with 2” and 3” rivet spacing (2” is the upper horizontal row, 3” is the lower row), I have decided moving forward I will use approximately 2” spacing.

As these panels are behind the wheel at the back of the wheel arch the riveting will hardly be noticed once fully assembled.

These panels, as with all engine compartment panels, will be powder coated black, although I am still undecided whether to use black rivets or natural aluminum.
