Ok chaps..
Finished orfe the under crackers by adding the brake discs and etch, also decided to tackle the seat belts.......i`m surprised this kit is still feckin` alive!!!!! , the material provided for the webbing is very nice......but it`s too thick for some of the etch buckles , one section of the belt requires you to thread it thru the buckle but in double thickness............it wouldn`t go thru once....let alone doubled up  . I then thought ferk it......i`ll make some Tam taped ones, that didn`t work out either.....so it was back to sorting the webbing ones AGAIN!! , it was fiddly to say the least and the decals did spring to mind as an alternative on more than one occasion  . I will add a bit of bolt detail on the mounting points but i ain`t gonna go mad 
Anyway.......ones done now and just need to get the will power to do the other, cutting the belts sections to the all the right length so it looks even is fun as well  , the offending buckle had the middle bar cut in half and i just crimped it to the belt so it gives the illusion that it passes thru it................i`ve seen a couple of builds and i`ve noticed it is a common prob coz all the other lazy buggers have just plonked it on top
Underwear.....
A dry fit....with roll-cage
Even that is a super snug fit 
Anyway.........nuff for now, cheers y`all |
