This afternoon I decided it was time to do a test fit of some cabin parts. The seats, floor plates, windscreen support and lower engine hatch are not bolted in place as yet. The rear panel is bolted loosely, and will be tightened down properly tomorrow. I initially expected to need it removed for floor bolt access, but if I sit in the engine space, every floor bolt can be tightened without removal.

The rear panel has a slight forward lean of 3mm. This sounds small but would be enough to foul the door when being closed. Shim material has been cut, in case the lean remains once tightened, though it may pull into correct position without needing this.

Seats each have a thin strip of rubber attached to the bottom of the frame, so it doesn't scratch the paint
