I've been a little bit slow getting back into things after Christmas.
So this is more of a "thinking" update, rather than a "doing" one.

Front Indicators:
After cutting out the holes for my headlights, I started to think about my front indicators.
I'd bought some side repeaters for the job ages ago as there are no size limits.



This was based on Trevor Bennett's build, one of the first finished cars I saw.



I've since found this diagram which is a guide to the rules about visibility angles.



So I need to extend a 45 degree line back from the front edge of the bonnet's "nose".
This will then give me the furthest inside position on the body work that the indicator can go.

Unfortunately, the original Cordite demonstrator didn't have indicators fitted.



So when it finally stops raining long enough for me to work outside I will mock that up & see.
While I am at it, I will also try my rear indicator for size to see what that looks like too.

Here are a few Spyder examples & I love the fact there is such a variety of indicators used.











So as always, lots to think about.

Hopefully, I might actually get a few small jobs done in the next few days.

Cheers, Paul.
