The panelling is nearly done. It was a very complicated job with nothing being straight forward. I remember the Kitten panelling being easy. With this car I just had to take care in making the templates. If I have a good template the actual panel is easy to make in aluminium alloy. |

For the sill finisher
which goes below the Minor door I have used a piece of aluminium alloy. Once
the doors are on amnd the position of this is finalised I will put a panel
between it and the cover over the exhaust. |
The finished panel. It
again screws into position. I will have to put some good insulation between
the panel and the exhaust. |

The panel also seals
around the quarter panel. I have welded a lip to the quarter panel so the
aluminium can sit on it. Once the body is finally on I will install Rivnuts.
|
ITo hold the sill finisher
I made a small angle bracket and welded it to the bottom of the B post. |

I made a very neat panel
to seal the gap between the A post and the cage. I can also still fit draught
excluder. |
The panel is a simple
right angle. Again an accurate template made the job easy. |

ASo
I can remove the panels they are all attached with M4 screws. To put captive
threads into tubes and panels I have used Rivnuts. These are like normal blind
rivets but with a thread down the middle. ------------------------------------------------------- |

Another complicated panel to cover the engine. It would have been simple if
it was not for the expansion tank, spark plug leads and i9nspection panel for
the injection. ----------------------------------------------------------- |

The
finished panel. All the access holes will have covers secured by small Dzus
fasteners. ----------------------------------------------------------- |
I
had to make this panel look good as it will be the one thing most people will
see when they look into the car. ----------------------------------------------------------- |
