Finished Rear Wishbones, Handbrake and Seat Back Panel

Busy day today....had a good clearout of the garage, then finished the Rear Wishbones.  Nothing is torqued up yet but I had forgotton how much of a b*tch the bottom longbolt is to put in, at least I only had one to do :)

Looking like progress:



Handbrake was nice an easy, although its mounted its not connected to anything at the moment:



And finally the Back Panel.  The number of rivets people were putting on seemed a little excessive to me, considering the panel is bonded I didnt feel the need to go for a rivet every what seems like 5CM!  I spaced mine out evenly, there is around 40 rivets and seems strong enough to me.  Needs a good clean once the bond has gone off, I'll save that fun for later:




Need to contact Kitspares to see when the rear caliper brackets are in stock so I can get cracking with the disc brakes.  I have a lot to buy to get the rear finished, including the shocks - next order will be a pricey one.
