Brief Description: Started installation of front wheel spats
|
|
The front spat is a very tight fit given the amount of clearance that there is on the rear spats, I can't figure out why Zenith would do this, but its to late to complain now, just have to make it work. If I was to do this again, I'd follow what Peter Franke in Temora did and order the VAN's wheels pants, they look great compared to the Zenith supplied wheel pants. I think the Zenith boys need to find a new company to do their fibreglass work. Anyway enough complaining, back to fitting the front spat. Next update I spent the next 3 hours trying to get the other side of the spat to fit, its more than a real pain, but I will continue to persevere, I had to move the location of the first hole I made to allow the axel bolt to pass thought, the only saving grace with this is that as much as I hate the stuff, fibreglass is easy to repair, I ended up making the hole many times large than you can see in image 1, just so that I could get the left side of the spat aligned, its close, but still requires a lot of manhandling to keep it in place....
