Hi B.
I did a similar trick neglecting to install rotors at one time.  Took a bloody hour to wakeup to why wheel wouldn't seat.   Please tell us that you are running those hub assemblies without the backing plates now that you have pressed in the hubs.   It does all look very nice.  Congrats.  Well done.  A tremendous amount of quality work.   Cheers.

Thanks. Yeah correct i wont be running the factory rotor heat/dust plates, due to different size rotors going on,

Rear window glass has been removed and aluminium replacement has been made.
 
Shown bellow the blue look is just the blue protective film, i will finish up some mounting, at this stage the aim is to then scotchbrite it up, get it anodized black so its not reflective in the cabin on the windscreen, prob wont be anyway, then cover the engine bay side with gold reflective tape then bond it back onto car.
 
I will be running a sloped perspex engine lid and also due to wing ill be running / seating position ect i wont be able to see out the rear anyway.
 
I will have a rear view camera and monitor inside cabin in addition to plans to run the Bosch CAS-M Light (CAN based motorsport collision avoidance radar system)
 
The main reason for going aluminium, as said i wont be able to see out the rear anyway, is i will be having some 'engine ancillary devices' mounted to it, plus yes it does weigh less.
 
 

Also got that bar back from powder coating 

 
Still working away on some wiring, getting there.

Collision avoidance system........
 
Time to draw the line man!

I spoke about it a while back in the thread.
 
Its a small box that gets mounted on the rear of the car, spits out messages to my dash via CAN, thats it. Its not like OEM road car collision avoidance systems that will steer, brake, adjust suspension ect, its purely display only.
 
LEDs on my dash (well the SLM above the dash) will come on and change colour and flashing speed relative to approaching cars distance and delta speeds, when your about to be overtaken it will change to have LEDs show you which side, i can have a big arrow pop up on the screen ect.
 
Heres a bit on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzpSy-eJRi4 
 
For long races with a large number of cars all with various closing speeds, ie wakefiled 300 even like 6hr regulatory races ect can be great beneficial. If it warns you about one car that you didnt realise was there, its paid for itself.
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96vL7HMrExc This is the bigger (and much more expensive) system, instead of CAN based, the information is overlayed on the rear view cameras monitor, this system was built by Bosch and Pratt Miller for the GT1 corvettes racing in ALMS ect, races like 24hr lemans were the fastest GT cars are lapped by LMP cars with a very fast closing speed, obviously this system is priceless.
This system was also used for the first time in Australia during the Bathurst 12hr the other year, all the Fiat Abarth's ran it, because they were goign to be lapped by much faster GT3 cars.

Mate..... Your car won't be overtaken... 😊

I was going to mention the Abarths ran it. They planned being past by the leader about every 5 laps. Most of their drivers had very limited race experience, just completing the bare minimum of races to be able to race there so was very useful for them.

Someone should change the name
