Hi Folks, Managed to get some pics of yesterdays work, finally got back on schedule to my list.
Latest updates;
The gear shift rod was cut to length and a tube fitted inside and welded together for a concentric fit.

This is about the third location for all the oil pipes, which is actually were I started. Would have like to have passed these thruogh the tunnel but just to cramped with fuel pipes, hand brake cables, accelerator cable, gear shift rod etc
We had to completely re-weld the left hand support to allow the oil tank to fit correctly. The final welds will be completed when the engine is removed. Also added a gusset to add strength and for the inner oil tank support. Will cut a plate to size with a hole for the oil tank gasket to fit into like the original.

Just need to organise the final position and drill the hole in the gusset

Left my mate alone for five minutes with the welding torch and he made a fantastic bracket for the oil stat

Ideal protection for the oil lines. At the top and bottom the cage joins into body

I will have to cut away some of the GRP body for the oil pipes but nothing major
Next task is to change the top seat belt position then remove everything, bag and tag. Then get happy with the linishing wheel on the welds and and rough areas. Finally off for media blasting, zinc coat and final powder coat. I guess it will end up black, but considering silver or gunmetal grey. What do you think?
