Bill, as I am a freelance commissioning engineer, it is mostly based on the orders that are coming in, and that varies a lot. Sometimes you are at home 2-3 weeks inbetween and sometimes only a day. It is very difficult for planning, because these jobs are worldwide. When I have a lot of time I could be finished in 6 months, when I have not so much time maybe end of year.

Re: Rear wheels FIA
Received my FIA wheels from the US today. I mounted two tyres, so I can test with the body later this week. Rear needs machining, as discussed before.
Interesting might be the price:
948 € + 252€ custom and import tax= 1200€, compared to the 1650 GBP in the UK

Have been watching your build notes with interest.
Just for the record I bougth my FIA wheels from Gerry identical to yours (spline drive not peg) I waited over a year for them to be delivered and I paid £2,350.00 plus VAT thats £2,761.25, looks like you got a bargin or I got a raw deal!

Forgot to mention I also bought the wheels at the begining of 2001, perhaps on reflection splined hubs are more expensive than peg drive?
