Re: Lotus Seven in Seven...

My first attempt at 'cycle' fenders.
I first tried simply wrapping the plastic around a suitably sized bottle and holding them in place with rubber bands to form them, but they returned to almost completely flat again within minutes, this even after a couple of days. So into the hot water they went. One Ninety F is my favorite temp. for plastic forming. Hot for about five minutes and then cold to set the shape.

Making those and a coat of putty on most of the body killed my evening. I did find my lost spare set of XS Tuning brakes so I have one less thing on my ever growing list of parts to find for this sucker.
One week down, with just six to go!
