I think at the time it was all the rage to make the steering and shock absorbers work, hence the overscale linkages, well done for replacing these, @robert-aspinall.

This is amazing detailing work, Robert @robert-aspinall
Great progress all over.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments.

Some more progress.

I replaced the front anti roll bar for one made from alloy tube. The drop and rising rate links were made from alloy and more micro nuts reamed out to fit over the tube. When it was all fitted it worked!

I wasn't happy with the mountings for the oil tank or how they aligned with the monocoque so I removed them and replaced them with alloy tube. I could now fit the tank using micro nuts and bolts. The body is test fitted and its tight. I'm struggling to get the gaps closed up which is annoying but I believe the plan is to display the model with the body panels off which could be a blessing. Th screen fittings were made from domed .7mm foil discs.

Thanks for looking.
