    Was just looking at where your engine sits compared to mine was all. And yeah incase you need them/want them back.

    Nice to see the panels off to paint too.

    How does it compare Benn?
    Much difference to how yours sits?

    Well my brace sits over the top 1/4 of the oil cap... (over the bolts that hold the cover down)
    So quite abit.. But might be me moving everything for better shaft angle.

    Had a couple of hours in the garage this afternoon.

    First job was to paint the bumper bar.
    It wasnt bad but a lick of satin black to spruce it up.



    And then refit



    Next up was to remove the sideskirt clips from old wings
    Now i have a small issue
    The new wings gone for paint, i dont remember bthem having the 'tabs' on the wing to hold the clips on.
    My question is, what has everybody else used?




    I supose the wings were for a non sideskirt model

    Bits will be back from Ade Culley next Saturday & the build back up will start.
    Quite excited to see it back together

    The pins for the sideskirt clips are rivets I think. Looks like the part number is 90033713

    Thanks.
    Looking on ecat24.com i now see them rivets.

    Do you use a normal rivet gun & drill a hole in the wing as per normal riverting?
