Bl--dy Hell. Never get a moment's piece when you join this forum............
Still catching my breath after the run back from Exeter.
Cheers Peter. Yes. It's all here and safely stored in the garage. What happened to all that room I in there made a couple of weeks ago. Pictures to be posted on Flickr shortly.
1st lesson learnt too late though. When dismantling the donor yourself and trying to undo the hub bolt from the front wheel assembly at least you've got resistance in the form of a ton of car. If you get Marlin to dismantle it and then try to remove the hub nut from the front wheel assembly on the bench, it's not so easy...............!!
The front uprights are still the standard E36 modified struts. The new solution that was mentioned is not compatible with BMW calipers and required aftermarket uprights - an extra £600 of costs with no obvious advantage. The rollbar has been modified though with a couple of brackets to bolt the seat belt turnaround bar to. Looks tidy. I just hope it's in the right place. Careful seat selection methinks...............
