I finally got the three bolts in place which will hold the lower edge of the heat shield. This job had to done before bonding, as afterwards, there would be no access to do it.
As a first time builder, I maybe have some odd ideas about certain things, let me elaborate:
When people talk about “bonding the body on” My inexperienced brain just thinks “glue”
When the car is complete, I may eventually bow to peer pressure and install a 2 litre turbo 250 BHP engine, which will give the car around 400 BHP per ton, and the thought of whanging
Round the Nurenbergring at 145 mph, with just GLUE holding the body on really Horrifies me.
But, I WILL use the stuff Chris recommends, but will augment this with good old fashioned stainless steel nuts and bolts.
On that subject I bough some today and nearly had a heart attack when I had to pay for them!!
Here are some not so clear pics:
