Love this thread.
Had to read it all again..

Any chance you could get a pic of how you did your removable rear apron?
Is it just held in place by the smash of the fender beading/boots?

Those microswitches are pretty much mandatory with big brakes,
But i had one putting -just- enough pressure it was pre-loading the pedal and covered the inlet port on the master.
FYI.

Do the Weber windows keep the muck out?
Always see those with a bunch of bolts and even a seal sometimes..

Love it!

You'll have to wait until I have the car back in the shop. My Ford Falcon, Bricklin and Subaru are taking up the workspace and I don't have a good spot to quickly pop it off. But basically I just drilled out all the spot welds, leaving both the apron and sides of body with a bit of swiss cheese. Painted the damaged paint, and use the pinch of the fenders and beading hold it in.

I was pretty careful how I set mine up, shouldn't be a problem...but thanks for the warning!

The Rally Bug panels have seals, foam tape around the edges. Even on a wet muddy road I get a little bit of water ingress, but not much. I would consider it to "seal pretty well". On this bug I haven't added any seals yet, and while I don't drive it on muddy roads it seems to keep out the road wet and grime on a rainy day pretty well. Enough that adding foam tape to the edges isn't a priority at all.

Cheers! Thanks for the kind words.
