Mounting Brackets

 After having cut the metal that forms the cockpit, we have started to create the mounting brackets for the front wheels and back section. We had used the metal for our make-shift workbench, however we have had to replace the metal with wood as we have used that metal for our brackets. We collected the metal last year from a scrapyard, meaning we had to flap-disc the rust off. The brackets and metal has all been cut and we are now in the process of writing a manual for the welder at Baguley's engineering. Check out our photos of the frame coming together piece by piece;
