Looking good - How did the seat end up too wide? Was it not the original frame?

Picked up the 283 from engine builders, will give it a run in the ute, has a nice little bump stick and KB pistons

Hard to see in the photos, but are the leaf spring u-bolts fitted with nylocks? I got pinged by the engineer for only having single nuts, and had to go back and refit spring washers.
That brake master and prop valve is pretty sexy.
Cheers,
Harv

Thanks Harv
Will be interesting to see how it brakes as I’m not intending to run a booster, have one just in case. Have a local crew here called Advanced Brakes that are a great help. Sorted my hotrod for me.
No they are just new nuts, single at this stage as I’m talking them off n on. Will be double nutted when completed
Regards
Gazza
