I like the idea of cutting boltheads down, the wiring loom will be made as short as possible and the bare minimum possible (enough to start the car, run the brake light and anti crash light and nothing else.
I'll go and have a really good look at the shell and speak to Sebfou about what's allowed. at about 0.5mm citroen beat you to the thinnest metal for the bulkhead! drill the bolts? use a motorbike battery at about 1/3 of the size of the c5 altho the ducellier alternator looks tiny its actually of a similar weight to iskra which are much more reliable rotating and unsprung weight loss important, use old hubs withthe 3 holes? dont use hub carriers with batteur brackets, speak to Mr Archer about skimmed disks cut the cover part off the shockers sean

Re: 2CV Crosser Sounds good to me, although bike battery is against the rools. Shame as I 'found' a nice ally battery tray that'd be perfect for a bike battery on a 2cv. I'll find a home for it I'm sure...

Re: 2CV Crosser Small update:
Moving in with the bird, building the red 2cv and changing jobs put the brakes on this for a while. I'm about to approach the landlord at work about renting a small container/workshop opposite my employers and I've been hunting down a spot welder, so assuming these things happen I'll be able to resume work and hopefully get the car running. I'm off to see Seb'fou the week after next to collect the roll cage and ami8 chassis I need so it's looking like there's a glimmer of promise with the old thing yet...
