One Carb Or Two?
- Location: North Lincolnshire

Using CAD (that's cardboard aided design) I made up the strengthning plate that sits on the outer end of the front cross member. I used 3mm steel which was probably thicker than standard but that's good, anyway I first made a template
Then I made it in steel
The spot welder I have isn't powerful enough for the thick stuff so I had to plug weld it
Then the inner wing went on
Same at the other side now :)

Just fantastic. I love this approach compared to the 'hog roast' spit. Good job your car was square to start with :)

Yeah, I've done a few measurements and it all seemed good. So far everything has lined up perfectly although I'm sure the genuine panels are helping that matter!
