Hi all bit more progress and starting to look like a kr1 now, quick question does anyone know what way the fuse box bracket goes as some ive seen are either way, the reason for this question is which ever way it goes one defeats the other, hang the fuse box on one way and its hanging point is upside down but the frame support sits on top of frame, other way fuse box hangs rubber mount up frame support underneath, hope you know what i mean, any other comments on parts installed most welcome cheers for looking.

i used to start with carplan black trim wax but on some parts still looked a little faded, so then i used Meguiars nxt generation ALL METAL POLYSH, spelt just like that, just polish on gently then allow to dry then polish off daniel son, then back to the black wax and they come out pretty good, didn't use the metal polish all the time mainly the trim wax will do the job (air box), but i also remember back in the school days making paper weights out of glued together perspex and to get the final finish we used good old standard T cut and the results were good to but i don't think you need to be heavy handed cheers.

Hi all just been having a go at fairing repair its come out good but how strong it'll be is another matter, ive used some pop rivets just under 2mm drilled some holes and glued with mitre glue, hope this hold ok been giving it some flex and seems to be holding well, im hoping the rivets will be giving it the strengh noy to crack only time will tell.
and this is what i did for the side panels on main fairing, i melted a stainless steel washer into the holes therfore welding at the same time, the washer would no way stay in there as metal does weld to plastic so out with the mitre glue again all nice and strong and sealed in happy with that.

Thats a b#### good idea with the rivets, I've been doing a load of plastic repairs myself lately, never thought of that, I will give it a go next time. =D>
I always totally fill the holes up, with repair abs, and then redrill later, (burn a hole with the soldering iron, then file out to the correct size) as I feel it makes it slightly stronger, as you're bonding a larger area.
