Made a bit more progress now both sides finished and bolted to the hull floor , glad the swing arms and guide blades are done , next the torsion bars where set to 40 degrees
didnt want to make the same mistakes as i did with my tiger
so i made a small jig and used my micro drill with a sanding disc
to get the flats on the torsion bars all the same , this worked
quite well next the wheeels to reprofiles and the tubes to add

Looking good David :D

I'll be interested to see how you tackle the wheels - do you have the flat ones from the first batch or the part-profiled ones from the second batch ?
