Re: 1993 Brian Kinwald Replica
After several minutes of work (with a file), the front tower is down.

Just after I started to work on the front and rear custom body mounts.
(Not sure to be really right with length, may be too long...)

Re: 1993 Brian Kinwald Replica
The building process continue.
In first, the front body mount fit the nose plate.

The Houge enterprise steering levers fit his RCPS turnbuckles and white ball cups.

Tower and camber links fit the waiting front end.


They shocks could be assembled to complete the front end.

Now the front end could fit the chassis.

Re: 1993 Brian Kinwald Replica
Before all, I have to reduce the length of the nose brace and polish it slightly.
(BK used 2 small Aluminium blue washers, probably to balance the lost length due to a chanfer at the end to join perfectly the nose plate???)

Nothing to say.
Excepted, I definitively need the right screws and a black lower spring cup...

Or.

Not so easy to glue properly they tires on wheels, without the inner and outer edges.


Near to the end of the project ???
