Probably only stunted together at the time the pic was taken but worth checking that the handbrake cable is through the other slot at the front of the chassis - in the pic it’s routed through the wrong one and hooked onto the translator which will make it rub on the chassis and not move smoothly.
Obviously, since that pic was taken the body has been put in place so the translator would have been removed to do that but if it’s been put back in place to retain the cable end from falling back inside the chassis then it’s worth checking?

Looks like someone has done a nice job so far though, look forwards to seeing it on the road!
Thanks for that, I'll make sure I check that when I start work on it - which may be a while yet as my workshop is jammed full at the moment and I dont want to start until I can spread everything out to asses it all

So, just another boring desk job?

If you roll the ends, you may not be able to get them into or out of the frame. I've never seen any that had been rolled and I've never heard of a problem. Save your self some time and hassle.
