re: Jimmymac & Alistair's Cars
Jimbo,
Mirage built the monocoques in Poole, England (not far from the GTD works)
It's time to say that the quality of the fit gave us a bit of bother over these past two weeks. The jigs were made to original GAs of the plate-work, so it was all going well for some time. And as you can see, we got the screen in perfectly but then later found that a major section of platework made to the original drawings did not fit.
The boys were at their wits end, but luckily Ray and Steve had detailed dimensions from two original cars to revert to and they had to re-make four sets of plates to get the monocoques back to the 'actual' as-built prototype geometry.
I think that with those original clips fitting so well first time around, this validates the corrections to the GAs
So much for those original drawings :huh:.
Frank,
Cheers friend.
