I've heard about the tiles and grease trick though the web page I read said to use ceramic floor tiles. That struck me as a good way to just destroy a pair of tiles. vinyl makes much more sense.

One piece of advice I can give is to remember to put nylocs on the pedal box mounting bolts that hold the front section on before building the rest of the car. It just took me 20 minutes and taking the steering wheel off just to swap the easiest one out with my wife holding a spanner on the other end of the bolt. I think I'm going to have take the accelerator pedal out to do the right hand pair . good news is I think that's the only set I forgot about.

I also discovered my 'new' exhaust mount rubbers were probably new old stock as they have started perishing quite badly over the winter. New ones in the post but this kind of thing is a little frustrating.
