Front light pods
One of the last things I did before the end of my holiday was to put glass fibre in the front light pods. This looks fine from the back, but the front needed a bit of tidying up.
I put a lot of sikoflex in the corners of the front light pod - as this will make it waterproof, I'll have to drill some holes to allow excess water to drain through.
LHS front hub
Another of the missing things I collected was a nut for the lower balljoint. This allowed me to fit the other front hub.
Filler
I'd joined the rear sections, but I want to lose the join between them.
I applied a lot of filler, because there's some areas of the two parts that are out (nothing to do with the way I aligned it - I suspect that one part stretched slightly).
While I was about it, I put some filler on the GRP bits to tidy them up.
Finally...
Mike (who is also building an Aeon) asked if the dashboard still fits with the wiper motor in place. I thought that it would still fit, but may require a little trimming.
It needs a slight trim - about 1cm - around the wiper motor mount, but generally it's okay.
