More shop time ( -1 C and Snow). I was able to get the rear brakes set up with the help of JB. As you can see the rotor was not centred in the caliper holding bracket. This did not allow enough movement of the caliper to get the pads to fit. A shim was used to shift the bracket so that the rotor was in the centre. Waiting on parts from RD to install the cooling tubes.

The Spyder chassis is a beautiful thing.

Agreed.

Sandy would you mind taking a picture of the T section for me?

Front side, a 3/4 and a side shot would be great!

She made noise today, all by herself. I will pull engine again to fit cooling tubes. Time to start on body, seatbelt anchors, replace wiring harness and build pulley system to raise and lower body.

Took the passenger lower seatbelt mount out today. Yikes, don't think it will come back with a little sandblasting.

Very, very common.  was a warning about them deteriorating in the Club Lotus News from the early 80s.
