The further benefit of John's design is that the clam and exhaust hangers at the back will enable me to run the clam further back out of the way and removes all the cross bracing on the Marlin frame. They are also very much stronger.

A bit of an aside, but noting something about John's car - he hasn't finished the bodywork, yet I'm presuming the car went through Taunton's test centre. I did not rub done the flash line on return near the numberplate on the rear clam, and failed because of the radius - John's is still present!
