Plug Finished
The plug was finally finished with all the fences added to create the mould split lines. It then had to be transported 1 mile up the road to the mould shop. To do this das trusty trailer was stripped down to the bare chassis and with the use of jacks, blocks, rollers and a brother-in-law it was loaded on and strapped down.
The large roofing bolts are added on the fences are to create locating plugs in the mould, the mould is laid over the fence and bolt head, the fence is then removed and the next part of the mould is laid up against the GRP, the shape of the bolt heads is built in so you get a locating dimple when you bolt the moulds together.
The plug is still up at the mould shop but should be finished next week, here are some progress shots of the mould being made

Pre mould making photos
The body is off to the mould shop in he next few days so i thought we'd get a few photos of it out doors before it goes. The daylight has shown a few areas that need slight attention before it goes, but overall its looking pretty damn fine!!! You'll notice at the rear the tunnel like shape exiting the rear panel, this will give an option to create a venturi style tunnel at rear if required, but in RGB this isn't permitted so will be full enclosed by the floor and just a visual feature.
