Sounds like Yes for Sure....

What is the logic on cutting them out ?

If they do MOT's I would be sure they would know if the cat had been tampered with you should see it easily enough when on ramps.

Some days just work out like that......I spent 3 hours trying to take a wing off a classic car to get to an aerial.... seemed simple few bolts, inner wing needs to come off.....bit more the bleeding front fascia needs to come off...... bit more lower/grills need to come off.... read a bit more...

Thanks so much for this, mine is still in a box after 8 years !.

Yeahh it is the yellow stuff i recall doing rooms with that in rentals in my uni time when trying to get nicotine stains off the wall.

Very good question, my gut says you will have to come from above, I vaguely remember my chap had fuel tank supports etc to replace whilst he did it so there must be space, I think the rear CM curves down at the point they replace it.

You are wise to be concerned and query. Imagine if 2/3 of the weight were at the front on one side it would be on 1 support on the gutter really. But you are also right the feet you have are wider than a lot out there. I would take some pictures and then keep an eye on it and keep checking...

All good points..... Keep in mind when you are sleeping only "some" weight is on the roof as the ladder supports a lot of it. I would in order. 1. Support the rack fully along the gutter 2. Get as light a rack as possible 3. Even the load on the rack which is helped by 1. I have seen a few...

I believe you can separate them if you want to..... When I cleaned out my tank (Petrol) and I had waste oil which I stored in the same container, I took mine to the tip and they said to just dump it in the waste oil tank which scared the **** out of me but I did it. I have also just left it in...

Its the same everywhere :(... .I am restoring a 45 year old classic and the reproduction parts are ****e..... with the exception of rubber which perishes over time the seals, o rings and fittings from the original vehicle re-fitted are better than the newly made ones. A truly scary thought...

Welcome brother :) Looks lovely and I am sure she will do you proud.... Stick with it and get posting when you have issues or just to see progress. Both my vehicles have been late night purchases, and both bad ones to a certain extent but love them both.
