April 14th/15th - Day 13/14 - Fitting De Dion and first roll-out...

A very satisfying weekend.  Followed the AG and it all went together very well.  Hardest part is sorting throgh and finding the right fixings.  Threr were no instructions for fixing the calipers together.  A plus was that bending the brake pipes seems to have got pretty straightforward.  Took the opportunity to spray Dinitrol inside the de Dion tube.  So late on Sunday afternoon out rolled my new Caterham into the fresh air for the first time.  Seem to have come on much quicker than I anticipated - although there's lot of stuff still to do.

Time to fill in the SVA forms.  Despite the cost I'm leaning towards letting Caterham collect the car and deal with all the Post Build Check and SVA stuff .  Aiming to have it readiny in the next month or so - which I believe is thye current time it takes to get a SVA date at Gillingham (only 170 miles away)!
