October 2011

October was a busy month socially, I did not get back from Hawaii until late evening Sunday 16th, one of my daughters got engaged on the 23rd and we were visiting family for the weekend 29th. I did manage to get a few hours on the car though.

I finished the last few pieces of sound insulation on the chassis side panels. On top of this I cut and glued some of the heat reflective sheeting. To tidy up the edges I bound them with the metal tape.

I got some rubber strip from eBay to act as a cushion between the radiater bleed hose and the water pipe brackets within the sidepods and glued this in place.

I also trial fit a luggage container and fuel tank. Looking good.
