Re: Bakers Build

Two updated pictures of the Carbon Fibre interior.
The sill panels have been made from moulds so as to get a perfect 7mm radius, snug fitting the chassis rails. The dashboard has been covered in black leather with carbon facia panels moulded in.
The interior panels still need some rivets but being bonded as well gives superior strength and rigidity.
The front inner wheel arches are also being made in carbon / ally but because of the many angles it's a bit of a job . Each panel is taking at least one evening of about 4-5 hours and there are 5 panels under each front wheel arch.
The gear change rod assy is now made from stainless steel and is at the welders ( I can't weld stainless or ally )Pictures to follow of the G50 rod system.

More pictures as and when
