Front wings

Had a few hours in the garage & put the front wings on. 

Tried a new method of lining up & it seemed to work....

1) Ground the paint off the wing stays where the bonding was going

2) Drilled a hole for the earth near the top of the stay underneath

3) With my electric glue gun temporarily glued on a cable tie in the centre of the wing stay & marked a distance of 80mm from the wing stay with a piece of masking tape

4) applied glue to the wing stay, Plexus MA300. This is is what I bought with the bigheads (when I was going to use these) but apparently Caterhams test Centre don't like cable ties on the wings & now they just bond them on.

5) put the wing on & lined the front up with the masking tape. The wings lined up with the wing stays pretty much so the only distance that seemed to be an issue was the 80mm.

6) squirted some more glue around the wing staywing & wiped it with a gloved finger so it didn't look such a mess..

& Job done! it was pretty easy at the end of the day so i'd been worrying unnecessarily...

Fitted the side repeaters with shrink wrap on the wires & another layer of maplins spiral wrap for good measure. The most difficult task was getting the rubber grommet in the hole where the wire comes out.. pain in the butt!

Had an e-mail from VOSA & they want a picture of the completed car to continue the process so nose conebonnetwing mirrors will go on tomorrow for a glamor shot! & then I can complete the wiring for the headlights.
