Sorting & Preparation


First things first and I decided to have a look in all the boxes to look at what I had and see if there was anything obvious missing.  Besides the things mentioned in the list of missing parts I didn't spot anything, however without knowing what to look for I am sure there will be something missing.

I did find some parts I have no idea what they do even after reading the labelling.  The items below are listed as.  Obviously they are to do with head rests and fia bars but I have not seen them before.

bullet 77849 - Head Rest Assembly FIA RollBar 38mm Clamp
bullet 77848 - Steady Brkt (77489 H/Rest) Long 38mm Clamp

what this? whats this?

If you know what the above are, please let me know.

Mystery now solved, they are for attaching headrests to the FIA bar, as the standard superlight seats do not have headrests.

Well I couldn't just look at the car so spent some time on a little preparation:

bullet Removed bonnet and nose cone and put them in the spare bedroom.
bullet Removed the spring bonnet clips so they wouldn't scratch the paintwork, or get caught on anything.
bullet Masked off the front areas that might be liable to damage when working on the car (see picture below)

Masked for protection
