Number Plate Bar

The front number plate fits to a stainless steel bar which runs across the nose cone.

This is mounted to the inner wings by a couple of bolts either side. With hindsight this is something else I should have at least trial fitted with the body off which would have made access and marking much easier.

In order to get the horizontal centre line, I measured from the floor to the bottom of the nose and from the floor to the top of the nose. I then halved the distance between the two and added that to the dimension from the floor to the bottom of the nose to give the centreline.

This was then marked onto the inner wing and drilled through slightly oversize to allow for any misalignment.

With the car sitting on a level surface, I used a spirit level to get the bar lined up then tightened everything up. Just need a piece of MDF now to mount the plate on :)
