I did the tour last night with a load of lads off SN.

Thought I would post a few pics. They were very good , the only place we were not allowed to take pics was in the gearbox and engine build shop.

If you have any questions about any of my pictures then ask away Penis boy. I paid particular attention to the chassis tutorial.

In answerable question JD as im sure you know it will depend on the material thicknesss at that point / type of joint required etc!
