It`s The Little Things

Can Make the Difference

I have Jacobs mighty Exel in the shed for some post racing maintenance, and to corner weight it, when I noticed, these ugly rusty bonnet pins, so I decided to do something about it.

When I looked closer, I noticed the backing plate was screwed in, not Tech Screws surely!

Yep, Tech Screws it is. I am a little surprised by this frankly because the rest of the car has been built to a high standard. It`s not perfect by any means but its well-built and well set up.

Outside of corner weighting and treating it to a new set of tyres, we are not changing anything at this point.

I cleaned it up and put it back together but I just couldn`t deal with the Tech Screws, so the only other thing I had to hand were Rivets.

I know it’s a racing car, not a show car but hey….
