More business trips and then keeping the family happy has minimised the amount of time working on the car.
A removable engine bay cross-member has been added. A section of the chassis rail was cut out and a 3mm plate welded back in with a couple of captive nuts. This was originally cut out when the Rover mounts were removed and had to wait until the proposed oil pan (Moroso) arrived from Summit Racing, As a couple of braces were also added around the revised transmission cross-member, as well as the sill-top braces to support the aluminum top skin.
I’ve also spend many noisy hours with the grinder doing this and dressing the welds on the suspension arms prior to powder-coating. All the spacers for the rear suspension rose joints have been re-manufactured in stainless steel. These replace the combination of washers and bits of copper tube the original builder had used!
