Thanks Walter,

I'll keep that in mind.;)

Today I started by fixating the front wheel (brakedisk) at the wright camber and caster.

Made the innerwing mount to fit the innerwing, fixate everything again and made the first tackwelds. It's coming along just fine I think.

The above picture of the shock dome on the simple 0.8mm thick inner fender does raise the question (I am sure you expected this, but I'am willing to bite anyways) what further stiffening of the inner fender your planning? I know its not load bearing like with a 1303, but still the shock dampening creates considerable forces nontheless.

Wally,
Yes, the innerwing is deff. not strong enough. But the rollcage will solve that ;) . The rollcage-tubes will run from under the dash to the upper shock mount and ends in the spare wheel well (on the front a-arm mount)

Cheers, Paul.

That deffo seems like the right way to do it!

The horn bracket had to move, no suprise what was under there.

So a little repair was needed.

The right front suspension is ready (for now), so it's time to start doing it all again on the left side.

Change of plans. I wasn't happy with the A-arm mounts I made in the spare wheel well, so I took out the grinder and started all over again.
No way back now.

Made a new spare wheel well bottom. I will make a lower part in the middle for the battery.

Today I copied the right A-arm mount to the left.
http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/124493.jpg

Now it's time to weld it, grind it and weld it in place.
Paul.

Wow! Any clarification why you made as you did?
Curious how it turns out.

Its those Mann filter boxes, they always tell you how to shape it up and do it, they have very special powers:lmao:
Only one thing springs to mind, now is a good time to add plenty of caster.;)

I had some sleeping problems with plan A, I just wasn't satisfied. This is plan B and I will sleep like a baby tonight.
