Aero Whiskers and Fuel System

Hey, Ya'll.

I have had a house full of young/loud/annoying nieces and nephews for the last 1.5 weeks so have spent a lot of time in the garage…I can report the installation of the Caterham aero whiskers and at long last a solution to the challenge of mounting all of the fuel system. What. A. Pain. In. The. Arse. Figured out how to position the twin-tank at exactly the right height, at exactly the right angle, at exactly the right distance from the rear body panel, so that everything fitted together and looked remotely parallel/straight/level. Scale drawing of the tank in-situ and rubber blocks cut to length and glued in exactly the right place. A bracket fab'd to hold it securely using the roll cage mounts. This one has been a freakin' brain-burner. Mostly sorted now, though. Bit of a pain drilling new holes in the installed tank and then having to suck all of the swarf out with mother's modified Dyson (shhhh, she doesn't know…) Clamping all of the braided s/s water/fuel/oil lines next and then I can terminate the fuel lines. Soooo much to do. Not thinking about it. Much.

L8R, Ladies.
