Pedals

Had another go at the pedals cause with the bushes in, the brake pedal would not move on the pivot shaft. The others were fine with a 14mm drill bit run through but not the brake pedal, so I wrapped 120 grit sand paper round an m10 bolt, shoved it through the middle then spun the pedal around it (for ages). Did the trick! Also cleaned up the surface of the pivot tube with 180 grit wet and dry.

Panels

Time to start some panelling. Inside ones first to practice and no-one will see if it goes wrong...

Tip: buy some decent 3.2mm drill bits, cheapo ones break/go blunt in seconds.

Includes the step where the furthermost forward panels are on the gearbox side of the tubes for a bit more footroom. Gearbox was checked to make sure it allowed this arrangement without hitting panels.

Horrible gooey black sealant stuff used, needs wiping off with white spirit when it squeezes out the side during riveting. P.S. those lazy-tongs riveters would never fit in the gaps, just a normal hand riveter seems best.
