Shear Frustration!
Published Tuesday, June 05, 2007 by Karen Phillips Racing | E-mail this post
After a week of Richard becoming a part-time solvent abuser whilst painting the new panels blue, it was time to re-assemble the front of the car. Darren was helping as they got down to the task. It came together pretty quickly until the single bolt for the bottom fixing of the wing sheared off whilst being tightened!
That was it for the evening. The side skirt and inner wing cannot now be fitted until this has been resolved. Richard's plan is to fix the front suspension problem, then wheel the car out into the open. He can then jack the car sufficiently high enough to drill out the remains of the bolt and re-tap the hole. Once done, everything should fit back together within a very short time.
The paint match is questionable, but at least everything is blue! (Including Richard's lungs).
