We have cracked on today, and made great progress.

Off Set provision for the Brake Master Cylinder.

Inner Fender Mashup competed.

Expensive After-Market "K" Frame carved up for more clearance too!

Very clever work and looks great. Surprised at how far over the master cylinder has had to come. The tube solution for the shock is very impressive, picture doesn’t do it justice. :thumbright:

This was "Measure once, Cut and paint Twice" as I could not reliably get the PASS Side Rocker Box off for servicing.

However, tolerances are SO tight on this build that one millimetre is a large clearance; so I guess we could be forgiven...
