Man...how in the world I missed this awesome and incredible one?...this is an impressive job!..You told you were at the Daytona Rennsport in 2007?...
Maybe we met there, I also attended to the event and took part of the model contest. I was the guy from Puerto Rico with the 1/43 Rothmans Le Mans '87 winner 962C...

Guys, need a bit of help regard ing seat-belts for the 935. I managed to get a set of decals for the Interscope car (which I used to watch & photo race long time ago), but here's where I need help - at the moment.

If you look at the instruction manual Step-5, in the lower right corner shows part #30 being attached to the metal end of the belt. Left alone, part #30 will fall off, so it seems to me that this part is supposed to be attached to something. I'm guessing on the actual car it's attached to the frame.

What have you guys done regarding this part?
Many thanks
Lou

Hi Lou, I built this car with the SMS set, but I used the Tamiya PE set for the belts, the SMS belts were too much hard work, and the Tamiya ones were more accurate, seemed to work ok, not sure which bit you are having a problem with, here is a photo of mine with the belts, hope it helps

Duncan, thanks for the great pix. They will be a big help. Also, love the detail you did with the interior; hope you don't mind if I use some of your ideas.

Also, where do you get the braided tubing for the turbo boost? And, what size did you get? I'm having a very difficult time finding it.

Have a good weekend, where ever you are - probably cold. We have 34F (1c) and 10mph winds, making it not fun to be outside, but no snow.

cheers
Lou

Hi Lou, got the Braided line from Detail Master, also BNA Model World do it, can't remember what size I used though, also there was Braided line in the SMS set. Weather same here, had snow for the last week, and about 1c here during the day, role on spring!

Who's on first - decals or clear coat?

What do you guys recommend for applying decals - before or after clear coating the car?

thanks
Lou

Can't figure out where, or how to attach the fuel injection pump on the 935 engine. Looked at Rob's pix and still can not figure it out. Any suggestions or clear pix?
Thanks
Lou
