and finally for now, I removed the old steel 1/4s off by drilling the spot welds out, this should make for a nicer fit of the fibreglass ones.

the f/g ones are 2.2kgs so a big of weight saving along with better tyre clearance.

also while its off I can cover in the wheel arch so air pressure doesn't build up in the boot like it has done in that past, it was like a big sail.








also de-dagged the inside of the head to help with oil return to the sump.

The only thing I can fault is that lockwire, the aircraft mechanic in me feels sad looking at it.

Sorry, I'm just very picky when it comes to lockwire these days as I do it all the time.

just want to say I really enjoyed reading through this build thread. I am a DSM owner, so obviously EVOs I, II, and III have a special hold on me. Your build reminds me a bit of Alex Grabau's (Dent Sport Garage) EVO here in the States.

thanks mate, I have always liked the pleasure evo, great build.

work continues on fitting the quarters today and then I got over excited and removed the old roof which I didn't plan on doing for some time, another few kgs saved there








I also had an old head chopped up to see if any port improvements could be made

That's a lot of bad *** work going on there. Before you went wide body I'm interested what did you use as the front lip spoiler on your early pictures.
