As promised just some pics and details on a 197 we're doing for a fellow Tricolore Racer for the coming season.
Original plan was to just finish off the build, some loom tidying, extinguisher install etc but the original builder has run out of time so I've got the full job to do.
As its class F, production class, it'll be similar to our own 172 cup in that modifications are limited and it'll be built as far as the regs will allow and also allow an easy upgrade to the higher classes.
-Full 14 point a Safety Devices bolt in cage as used in the Michelin cup road series.
-Upgraded pads, hoses and fluid, new springs, new oe shocks and poly bushes all around.
-safety stuff like battery, battery cut off and extinguisher system.
Managed to get the rest off the interior out today including roof lining and dash.
Also the sound deadening behind the dash which is a royal pita.
Got the seat mounted roughly. Just need to fabricate mounts to bring the rear seat rail up 15-20mm to level them out.
That's it up to date really, car is going to the fabricator this week to have the cage done, harness eyelets welded in and any bracketry removed. I've marked them up for him because I'm nice like that!
Have loads of new shiny bits ready to bolt on once the cage in done and it's painted so watch this space, more shell prep and cage pics towards the end of this week.
