Had a go at placing the fuel filler but wasn't happy with the way it sat at the back so tried my hand at some real fibreglass sculpting..with no real idea what I was doing.
First made a mould routing into some ply
Then applied Vaseline as my release agent, and put in some Bonding paste..
Once dry popped it out and then Covered in Glass strand and Resin
.
Left it overnight to harden before trimming it up and glassing it to the underside of my body
Then shaped the cut away in the body to the edge of my moulded shape and now I should have a semi recessed filler cap , proof will be tomorrow when I hope to fit the cap after bonding the body.
Oh yes modified the battery tray, well cut it out and welded in a new shelf, will take a bigger battery for plenty of starting oomph
Got a chance to try the seat position
Considering its a flat floor no drop and standard Herald seat runners the height isn't too bad..
Not a bad day
