The hole for the rear brace is oval. I was just lucky enough to get the angle on the hole saw spot on when I drilled it.

I'm machining up some aluminum trim rings but there will be a thin neoprene gasket under each of them to keep the water out of the boot. You can buy 1.5mm neoprene sheet from Clarke rubber and I'll make some large wad punches from exhaust tube to cut it out neatly.

Unfortunately no roll bar for the wife yet, I'm still contemplating that. I've got another hoop there but I like the asymetrical look of the single drivers hoop. I may make up a full width bar that I can swap back and forth. I'll machine up aluminium caps for the unused holes in the bodywork.

Cheers
