I've got my brakes bled and working so hopefully that's sorted. I realise now though that I've stitched myself up for the fuel pipe routing. My gearbox mount is, sturdy and takes up a lot of room.

Would iva accept two 8mm fuel pipes passing through 30mm box section but insulated by grommets?

gosh, don't know if they would but I wish I'd thought of that, made some extreme bends in mine to get past the same mount

It might be a moot question as I don't think I can get my drill in there

I managed to pick up a right angled drill attachment from lidl or Aldi a while back....one of those things that you spot and think "that might come in handy!"

any place you can get the drill in, make up a small bracket and drill the holes etc then mig weld it in place, you can generally get a tack on it.

I'll figure it out, there has to be a solution. Does anyone know off hand how close a fuel pipe can run next to a fixed object?

I have a one piece floor which bridges the trans tunnel and my mount, a 30x30 piece of box fits across the lower tunnel 20mm tubing. This means I have a 20mm gap between mount and ally floor, could I run the pipes through there?

Have you done your rear panel yet? Here's a video that show how Caterham tacke their rear panel compound bends: https://youtu.be/Y3EbtLoROhU?t=3m57s

So I'm up and running again after a bit of a break. I've started assembling the rear tub frame and the roll bar.



I'm stuck on the seat belt mounts. Putting the book spec roll bar cross frame on and mounting the bushes on or even in results in the mounts not lining up all that well with the holes in the seats. I'd have to screw the belts underneath the cross bar so I'm thinking I may follow others who fitted a bar to the chassis itself and put the mounts onto that.

just adjust the height of the cross bar to suit the belt slots in the seats and position the threaded bosses to suit the width of the slots. in the book it says "adjust measurements to suit seats"
if the cross bar is to low, the seats become load bearing as the belts would come upwards through the slot pivoting on the slot edge to your shoulders and down.
I know some people have had to provide seat structure reports for iva

a bit long winded but as said above the position of the crossmember and bosses was intended to be "to suit" rather than set in stone
hope this helps gary

Hi, I' tried putting the bar lower but it didn't look right so abandoned that one but I did miss the comment in the book re adjusting it to suit.

I'll offer it all up again next garage session and see what sits most naturally.
