Stage 61 more or less complete. I haven't fixed the plenum chamber yet as I'm experimenting with some clamps around the pipes leading into it. I've tried to make them like those that can be seen in some pictures of the original.
I used 0,2mm shim, drilled holes, formed and a very light spray with metallic red.
Not sure how much of that is hidden by the end of the build.BigGrin

Getting through issue 62. Did a bit of a trial assembly of the exhaust arrangement as well as a touch of tempering on the pipes.

Nice work on the harness Malc, should really bring the cockpit to life when you install it with the seat to make a real focal point.

I love looking into the cockpit of racing cars, it's the place where an inert piece of machinery is brought to life and given a soul and where great things can happen - especially when Senna was in control!!

Well done Malc. Cool ThumpUp
