Camber and spacers: fixed

 The blocks got cut, welded, cleaned up and fitted;

I might tidy them up after IVA but just for now it's the biggest surface area I can use. The camber on both sides is closer to 1.8 so that's dropped a fair bit, although not quite the 'zero' that would have been preferable. The bolts went back on fine and everything is nice and secure.

A couple more things now for IVA. The fuel tank is full;

Although I really don't remember petrol being green coloured... I'll just assume that is all the detergents and stuff that goes into modern fuels. 

I also wanted to take a photo for the fuel hose markings;

R6 fuel hose is suitable for up to E15. This is a 15% ethanol which I would be avoiding anyway, not least because I don't think the engine would like that high an ethanol rating. The tank is full of 10%, I could go to 5% if it's not happy but for IVA it's good. Maximum fuel pressure is 50 PSI, with the Mazda fuel pressure regulator keeping around 43 PSI in the fuel lines. I think I'd have to upgrade it if I went for forced induction. 

Next thing, handbrake efficiency. While I can't test the exact numbers, I did test it by using my torque wrench at each click. From 0 clicks I measured how much torque is needed to turn the wheel each side. 1 and 2 clicks gave it a slight drag, 3 to 5 seemed fairly progressive. I did see the right hand side come on slightly quicker than the left but it doesn't seem significant. Then by the time it got to 7-8 clicks, I was tightening wheel nuts rather than turning the wheel. The Mazda original required roughly 7 clicks, so I'm happy with that. There's still reserve travel, and I could adjust it slightly if required, but I don't want the pads to drag. 

One of the last things I need to figure out is the visible chassis rails in the interior, as per this pic;

According to IVA they come within the 'specified zone', so must be 2.5mm radiused. Now, the natural curves on the corners are close to that, but I still have doubts on whether they need something covering them. To be fair, I've never seen those covered or padded on other Haynes roadsters, but they're probably a bit more exposed on my car. 

Is that it? I've gone over the car multiple times, and no doubt I'll go over it again for the next few weekends.
