Wing mirrors, exhaust bracket and ride height (front)

First job today was the wind mirrors.  I marked the roll cage just above the bend and slightly to the rear from central.  The holes were drilled at M5 and tapped to M6.  The brackets were then fixed with stainless dome bolts with some loctite applied.

Next was the exhaust bracket.  To begin with I cut a piece of steel square section and made a 90 degree angle bracket which would bolt to the bracket on the silencer.  This angle bracket will then fix to an exhaust bobbin.

I then welded another angle piece to some flat steel - the idea being that the bracket mounts to the floor so I dont have to cut through the GRP.

Final job of the day was to adjust the ride height at the front.  Currently the ride height was about 80mm when it should be about 105mm.  I tried to adjust the springs when on the car but because of the radiator I couldn't get in.  I managed to adjust about 10mm by extending each of the rose joints on the push rods but it still wasn't enough so I removed the shocks.  I then made a C spanner from a piece of steel angle and adjusted the shocks by about 15mm.

When I put the shocks back on the car and lowered it to the ground the ride height was 110mm.  This is slightly high but it will be fine until after the IVA.

This was increased to about 35mm
