So, I decided to start fitting the rear wheel protection bar and it proved to be every bit the pain in the arse I expected. Firstly the rear of the car had to go back up on axle stands (on the chassis) to take the weight of the suspension and A-frame. Then both wheels off and unbolt the A-frame, loosening the De Dion/A-frame bolts as well. Got the bar on but there was no f****** way it was going to go under the cage bracket however much persuasion I gave it. So, I did what every good Caterham builder would do and drilled another hole in the front bar mounting alongside the existing one - unfortunately my drill battery ran out half way through so it bought a halt to proceedings. Anyway, the longer set screws for my seat have arrived and I sorted the washer bottle so it sits properly now.
1 hour today, 62.5 hours total.
