Here we are talking about the big black things that need to be cut to shape and fixed to the side panels.

I know they look more like pods but you will have a weird conversation with Mr Carr if you call them pods. In the scheme of this build, they are vanes. And there are two on each side. Inner vane and outer vane.

Here we are fitting the inner vane.

The lower section can be cut away to leave a lip ~ 30mm wide for some captive nuts to be used to secure the vane to the floor.

The top edge needs to be cut away to follow the line of the curve of the side panel. I used an old piece of brake pipe to form the correct bend and then transferred the shape to the vane for cutting with an Exakt precision saw.

At the front there is a lip that can be used to bolt through and secure to the side panel. The top and bottom edges need to be removed so the lip sits flush to the side panel.

Fitted in place with a bolt securing the rear that has a wedge shaped spacer to follow the curve of the vane.

The nearside vanes are fitted in the same way. Note we need a cut out to accommodate the water radiator and that the mid position stay for the floor extensions needs to pass through the vane to be bolted to the side panel.

I have marked out the position where the water radiator will later fit.
