Time Out - Part 1
Spent some time in the morning trying to kick start my "real" work.
( As whilst the extra car time is great, it doesn't pay the bills. )
When I did get to work on the car, it was very stop/start…
Removed the brackets from the locating pin panel on the bonnet.
Really amazed at just how solid this feels.
Then with some masking tape in place, I tried to mark up where the locating pin needed to be.
( Photo taken from inside the body shell extension. )
Drilled a hole and temporarily fitted the locating cone.
I just need to adjust the "hole" in the horizontal panel a bit, but it looks like it will actually work.
Marked up and drilled the extra holes in the seat spacers.
Found a "off cut" of fibreglass to add to the locating pin panel.
To provide my usual "belt & braces" support.
Then did a round of fibreglassing to add matting to the following areas:
Inside of the locating pin panel.
The join between the closing panel on the body shell extension and the Spitfire bulkhead.
The underside of all the joins on the body shell extension.
