Final Install of Driver's Cockpit outer panels and odds-n-ends
Hey Y'All,
I wanted to install all of the rest of the cockpit panels (except the large rear panel), but ran into typical planning issues: I am running out of my favorite multi-grip rivets and I haven't ordered my soundproofing / thermal insulation mats yet...
Here's how far I got: Driver's outer panels. Anyway, here's some pictures driver's cockpit outer panels1.jpg driver's cockpit outer panels2.jpg driver's cockpit outer panels3.jpg
Not wanting to just leave it at that, I decided to finish the installation of my charcoal canister and breathers. I like how it turned out

Next, I installed my rear brake hardline and brackets to the main frame tubes. I used some black gasket maker to keep the corrosion at bay underneath the brackets (and to hold into place if I need to adjust the lines a little). I had a picture, but the image quality was bad...
Next, I wanted to install the rest of the Driver's footbox panels, then realized that some builder's wished they had added the Cool-Mat before inastalling the inner panels. I checked and decided to heed the advice. Not much room to get insulating mats in there driver's inner footbox panel needs insulation before being installed.jpg so I'll pre-fit the insulation before final installing that panel ... which means I'll be waiting on the next Summit delivery this week
Until next time, Happy Building!
