The new wheel discs are here!

Just got the new discs back from our local vacuum forming company Plastikos (Tolleshunt Darcy)
And they are BRILLIANT!!!

The team members spent a happy session this evening trimming them to size and trialling different adhesives to stick them to our rims.

You need strong hands to cut through these....
.....even with really sharp scissors...well done Nathan!

Newest year 10 team member Jack trims the discs to exact size.

And Nathan cuts the hole in the middle..

After some careful sanding from
 Tash, Hannah and Ellie....PERFECT!

Trial fit on the car looks great!!!
 
Above you can also clearly see last week's work, when the team added
white plastic electrical conduit covering the nasty sharp edges of the 
aluminium honeycomb chassis. (tis held on with cable ties!)
 

Testing bits of vacuum formed plastic with different adhesives
on a spare wheel...including SUGRU which is really cool stuff!!
