The more work I do on this conversion the more I wonder weather this body was actually designed for the SS1

A heavy brace bar is fitted between the "A" and "B" post of the original chassis.




This tied in nicely with the heaver steering brace I fitted earlier.




The boot space allowed a Spitfire fuel tank to tuck-in nicely under the rear scuttle and allow the original petrol feed and return lines to be used.





The fuel tank fixing brackets and the upper seat belt mounts all bolted to the top of the rear suspension turret in the pre-drilled holes which were complete with fixed M10 nuts!



Also fitted bigger tyres which fill the arch better.



The bonnet is the next problem to deal with.
