yes good progress just be sure not to have a WHAM bar in your back pocket when you drive it to upset that screw/rivet weight saving

I'm well proud of that all 3 mounts are vibration proof bobbin mounts.


Could save nearly 16g more by removing two of the wing bolts on each wing, only three are needed
Plus cut that bolt to length on the oil cooler bracket, no need for all that exposed thread, far too heavy

Oh, and the headlights are now rivnutted and caphead bolted in, the wiper assembly is held in with the same lightweight bolts, the oil cooler mounts are rivnutted to the car and the radiator support brackets have been cleaned up.

Cambelt is half on, the 2 small rollers are mounted, and the tensioner is being modified.

I'm sure there was more, but I was busy helping attatch something to a really cool car which is better than broster's.
