I’ve been looking forward to this since you mentioned your plans to me at combe. Can’t wait to see it out on track in its new guise. Keep up the good work and updates!

Bonnet bracing completed and painted. Bonnet pins replaced with new lighter aluminium versions. Bonnet refitted; rear edge lifted to give more air flow and to avoid the new bracing rattling against the cam cover
