DISCLAIMER

Please note that the construction notes/modifications/suggestions/procedures shown here are an account of how I (and in some cases, other amateur constructors) performed certain procedures during and after the build of my kit and it should not under any circumstances be assumed to be the correct way of doing the work. Any modifications/procedures that I have carried out have been entirely at my own risk and other constructors should not carry out similar modifications or procedures unless they have satisfied themselves completely that they are both safe and legal. Your safety whilst building and driving a kit car is your own responsibility and it should not be assumed that any of my methods, suggestions, modifications or order of construction are either safe or legal. No information on this page is a recommendation to carry out any of the work involved, the information is simply included as an account of how I resolved some of the problems presented to me during the build and subsequent operation of the car. Some of the items on this page may have come from a third party and, therefore, may not have been tried by me but where this is the case the originator's details will be included.
