Following this disappointment, we felt like doing something visible, so decided to fit the roll bar. This was simply a matter of positioning it on some masking tape, making sure it was central and drawing round the ends. Then came the hole saw to cut through the fibreglass, which worked well apart from creating loads of dust! The hole through the centre has to go through the metal chassis plate as well and needs to be 12.5mm, but unfortunately ours only go to 10mm so a considerable amount of filing was needed to open up the hole.
We also repositioned the driver's seat slightly inboard as it was fouling the bodywork.
Hopefully, we'll be able to move the car to our house soon so we can make faster progress. Only being able to work on it on the occasional Saturday, and then only getting a maximum of 4 hours actual working time out of a whole day is getting a bit frustrating.
