Hi Robert

We have a strange accent out here in the East Midlands! They are based only 4-5 miles from where I live!
Sorry I do not have the email address, but I will PM Jason Cundall who I presume will have, and ask him to forward it to you.

Re: Front Wing Height on hybrid chassis

Yes, I had a look, very impressive. I am wondering if their panel will be sturdy enough for what I intend. It will be THE sill, not stuck onto an existing sill.

Some way off that stage anyway. I have plenty stainless sheet, will bear it on mind.

While on the subject of Logo's and going even further off topic!!!

I had been playing last week. I have the offer of some free sweatshirts for myself and the two boys, with an embroidered logo of my own design. I did a friend a favour sorting his Landrover for it's test... He runs a family embroidery business.

I came up with several designs which are editable, in fact I like the Marlin logo with the grey nut and the curved 'Nutter'. They would be about three inches across. The more usable are below:

What do you think?

Re: Front Wing Height on hybrid chassis

The wings and all the front bodywork is completed!

One or two details to finish but substantially the front bodywork is done. I mounted the hockey stick brackets on the suspension towers, with two 8mm stainless Cap Screws, reasonably neat and quite strong. I have put three large flat washers under the wings on each bracket bolt, partly to lift the wing off the bracket to clear the depression caused by the side lamp, but also to provide for a little adjustment for the angle of the wing top in the future.

I have started on the screen base and dashboard area now.

Robert,

I used a string drawn under the chassis and both cars seem to be straight as far as I can tell grovelling under the wing.

Thanks Ben!

Sorry you had to grovel!

Perhaps my chassis has had some rough handling? I notice the front bumper is bent back slightly at the o/s. The main thing is it isn't twisted.
