Sweet Chester..

Hopefully one of those kits is mine, and I have been talking to jahn-petter in norway about paying for his kit and collecting that at the same time next wednesday. Looks like they stack nicely, so getting two complete sets in your V50 should not be a problem.
Any close up pictures of how the fuel filler cover attaches? Do we need to fabricate some new hinges, or does the new one attach to the existing cover??
Also interesting to know how much further out the rear wheel arches are from the standard ones, as we have been taking measurements to have wheel spacers made to get the right look on the car.
If anyone is interested, I'll post the dimensions, drawings and cad models, as well as pictures, or once I have them made I can get some prices for anyone else who wants to buy spacers to use with standard offset wheels and the gp widebody kit.

Nice work Chester,

Catch you later..

Mike.

PM senk conkers.

If i can find myself an fj20e s12 id buy one of those kits. Its good to see a pile of them there all with the same standard of finish from the mould.

Those 3 sets are reserved. And one from the next delivery.

These are the closups of the fuel tank.

Im afraid u will have to fabricate new hinges for the fuel cover.

The rear wheel arches widens about 5 cm but its har to tel because original fender is not flat and it have a smal flare about 1 cm.

Can you get the glasfiber guy to put an internal flange on the fuel filler covers, that way we can use velcro to hold it in place on the rear bodywork.
As it looks now with no mountings on the inside of the fuel cover, we will need to drill holes through for hinges, or have a hinge mount bonded on with more epoxy.
It should be sufficient with 4 right angled tabs (one on each internal edge) to this we can stick velcro on and it will stay in place. It would also be possible to fit one 90 degree channel on the leading edge, and one small tab on the opposite side for velcro closeure.

Hard to describe in words. I'll throw a sketch together and tr to post it here later....
