post seem to be getting longer and longer apart finally done the driveshaft hoop and had a good chat to the cert man new rules with brake lines running down the driveshaft tunnel, which means i had a choice of another D HOOP at the rear or relocate brake line since i relocated brakeline into cabin and back out it has to be covered. nothing fancey. found some scrap in the workshop that worked out good ex parked up sunday avo at work monday morning also got a new toy GTST always wanted one and the price was right haha
