Update - when spraying up the chassis noticed a small crack in the metal work which was playing on my mind so decided to twist my mates arm to weld it up (Using 2mm plate and a tig):

Crack



Repair

When thats painted up it will never notice, looks like a good strong repair - might even be stronger than new  :)

Electric's back in and tested - slight prob with the pod red connection lead (intermittent connection at the control box) will resolder the connector and clean the pin's - otherwise all good - next job the newly painted shell back on - sorry no pictures of the shell until after the 25Th - Matt's Christmas surprise !!!!

Its coming along really nice Marty, I bet Matt is really loocking forward to see the shell on Christmas morning. I think we know what you might be busy doing after your turkey ? (It would be better the listening to the Queen's speech  :D)

Just a thought I had after looking at the pictures, I reckon it would be possible to alternate the C5 mechanic's ? has anyone ever switched the motor to the right and the brake to the left, the chain bracket is fitted to both side's of the frame, so could it be done, a left hand C5 ?
