Corroded chassis members repair questions
Discussion

I'd say the height of the outriggers means they would be utterly useless in a side impact whether they are brand new or made of swiss cheese.
I think they form part of the MOT due to the seat belt mounts fixing on them, well in the Chimaera anyway.
Cut 'em out and save weight I say
I'll get my dremel...I think they form part of the MOT due to the seat belt mounts fixing on them, well in the Chimaera anyway.

......I always thought people said outriggers are non structural and that's why corrosion on them shouldn't be a MOT failure.
It will fail an MOT if there is significant rust within 300mm of a suspension mount, seatbelt fixing or body mount.Two of the above are part of an outrigger so would be a fail.

If you remove the outrigger altogether then technically there will be no rust within 300mm of any of the above and so a pass - no?

There wont be any seat mounting point on the drivers side either...
Well, zero progress on the re-spray (which is annoying) and forgot to add pics of the latest bits'n'bobs to have arrived....I did post to the Cerb FB page, but forgot this...getting too old....anyway here goes....
New CF kick plates
Refurbished windscreen pillar trims
ACT CF airboxes, trumpet backplates and new induction hoses
New ACT Sports exhaust
and finally Zircotech ceramic coated manifolds (decat pipes also coated)

Its looking great!
Are you doing the headlight conversion yourself? If so, what parts did you need to buy and how do you have to wire it into the existing setup? Im considering doing mine as it needs a front end respray and I have the fibreglass pods already.
Haha...not a chance in Hell. I'd be there forever. Same guys doing the respray did all the fettling and fitting. Are you doing the headlight conversion yourself?
