i used r&p woods when they first opened many years ago,they have a rolling road so should be able to sort your problem out,i really think its somthing simple shouldnt take them to long to sort out,why dont you give them a bell.

i might put a little bit here and there,tbh ill have to wait and see what it looks like once its on the car,this year im going to have to invest in a mig welder and a compressor for when i start the underside but i cant see it going back together this year,just had my accountant on the phone,recon im due a 2k rebate for last year so maybe i could crack on a little.

not alot mate dropped some parts into powder coaters on saturday will post pics up when i get them back,took my fuel tank into a company in hebburn during the week to get my jic fittings welded on,but they've welded them on wrong which means the fittings will leak so ill be taking that back tommorrow.heres some pics off the tank.
really anyone in the motorsport buisness would know that that will not seal properly.

been to powder coaters this morning and theres good and bad news,first off the good news heres what i collected.
done a great job.
now the not so good news regarding my fuel tank,this is how it looked after being blasted
looks good you might think,can you see the problem?
42 pin holes,ive organised these to be brased up next week,no big deal really just a little set back.
as i was taking pics of the fuel tank i thought id include a pic of the swirl pot,still hoping this will not melt in the oven when it goes back,fingers crossed.
