Hi Alan, great work & dedication!
When I started my next project after the Freestyle I wanted a kit car and not a kit conversion! looks like you wanted a kit conversion. I am sure if you had bought that MX5 donor Zero you told me about you would be happy zipping around in it now but instead you just wanted loads off bits all over your drive and to put them all back together and meet the challenge of the IVA...
The Zero is not quite a Caterham by any means, it has no build manual or build procedure and has many kit conversion elements and probably (certainly) won't have the resale value of a Caterham, but it should go pretty well. Your kit must remind you of the problems you had to overcome with the Freestyle.
Kind of on the same subject, I was up at my local college and they changed their foyer display. Before they had the landing gear from a 747 sitting in the entrance hall, everyone just walked by without a second glance except for me who spent a while trying to figure which hydraulic hoses controlled what. Anyway over lockdown they changed it and put a CBR and a kit car in the lobby. I couldn't work out which kit it was after studying so many 7 designs.
The front cycle wing is exactly what I have (after IVA) in carbon but the thing that really drew my attention was the windscreen bracket combined wing mirror bracket. Looks like cast alloy and is exactly what I need. Just where do I find a pair, that is the question??

Chris, Do you do Faecesbook, chances are somebody on there will know where to get them
Re: Melvin the Mev Mevster Discussion Thread
Hi Alan I don't have the time for Facebake, not my generation but I may well put a post on the Locost 7 Forum or RHOCAR but not a member, the Zero forum failed from what I understand and people seem to host their own builds. but I guess this is a more 7 related question in general. Do you have an account on either forum? I have a saved search on ebay but nothing has come up and those brackets look as though they should go through IVA so should be quite widely adopted throughout most builds, I cant believe I have not come across them before. I have some stupid F1 carbon mirrors and will probably re think these for IVA! The carbon ones that came supplied with the Freestyle were e marked and went straight through, as long as they hit the angles I guess they are all OK.

Thanks Alan 

Re: Melvin the Mev Mevster Discussion Thread
It does have it's uses, apparently they are Dax Rush mirrors, they suggest the Dax group or JK Sports Cars Limited
Choles Industrial Estate - 284 the high road - North Weald CM16 EG North Weald.
Others say they might be Unipart from cars from the 70's so that's another avenue you could explore

Re: Melvin the Mev Mevster Discussion Thread
Thanks Alan good work, that makes sense as Dax rush 7s are the only square head lights you see. :-)
Re: Melvin the Mev Mevster Discussion Thread
Yes certainly is Dax Rush, I found this one which confirms it which is great, just need to be able to purchase some.
Thanks for your help
