What do you use for an adhesive?

I lay the strip of tape on the foil then turn it over buff it up (which helps it stick to the tape then slice it off with a new blade)(an even slightly blunt blade just tears it) I cut it slightly wider than needed so I can wrap it around the frame.

Is the seat cover like lambs wool?

I'm wondering (since I've made it gull wing) should I do away with the door handles move them further down or turn them sideways.

Hi all been adding some detail from all the reference pics I've got they all show this with servo assisted breaks, this is what the kit supplies

So I acquired this off my missus favorite tipple (she is Scottish)

After a little sanding and a crease in the right place

I've no idea where a lot of these pipes go as I've not got enough ref pics so I've guesstimated

jbwelda: Thanks again Tom, funny thing is, this current IP also resolves to an Amazon address but seems to work just fine. jb May 29, 2023 15:06:36 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: nice Bonneville up top! hey all, I still am around but struggling to get my hobby hands back, mainly no way to paint right now Jan 16, 2024 22:48:31 GMT -5

jbwelda: NNL West is today, anyone going? Its going to be crazy around there what with the footsball game next door. First time in a while I am avoiding it but hope someone posts some photos. Jan 20, 2024 12:51:40 GMT -5
