Cutting it close…
Have to keep reminding myself it is July, as the weather is so crap.
Rivetted the support brackets to the bottom panel.
Pulled out an assortment of brackets and found a winner.
This will attach the bottom panel to the front of the chassis.
I then butchered one of the other pieces to re-enforce the bolt hole on the bottom bracket.
Drilled holes and bolted the side panels to the radiator support.
Painted the bracket black, as it was too visible through the front grill.
Here is the whole thing bolted in place.
Might spray the nut and bolt attached to the chassis black tomorrow morning.
But it is doing its job of pushing the bottom panel down ‘a bit’.
The back of the bottom panel clears the bottom of the bonnet, when the bonnet is open.
(And yes, the inside of the bonnet needs to be cleaned, which I also did today!)
End of Part 1…
