Anyone Know What These Are For?

Hi Guys & Gals

 

Does anyone know what these panels are for??

 

We have sorted out a lot of stuff but we are all baffled as to what these two panels are used for, any input welcome!

i'm not sure but they could be the infill panels to cover the gaps at the rear. I made my own up but if they fit, use them

 

(PS I haven't forgotten about the build photos - getting on with it this week )

Rad mounts ?

 

Sure I've seen the newer Zero kits with something like those to hold the rad forward and @ an angle

Oooh, they look like trimble panels. They go between your sanfum shaft and the jarygren box. Just slide 'em straight in! Easy

They are SVA rear infill panels for a 3 series. When the SVA manual came out it stated that seat belt mounts had to be triangulated. The rear seat belt picked up on a piece of angle under the top edge of the rear panel. The large hole is for the roll bar to go through and the small hole to line up with the seat belt bolt. Then you were supposed to run a line of bolts or rivets along the edge of the boot sides and rear panel tops. What aload of tosh, I just bolted a piece of tubing with flattened ends between the rear rollbar stay bolt and the rear shocker mount angle near to the main roll over bar. SVA man glanced at it and said it looked triangulated - PASS. And thats what they are FACT!!

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw them Daz, but when I tried sliding them in the sanfum shaft sagged, the trimble plates wrinkled and the jarygren box simply fell on the missus's head as she was relaxing under the car trying to figure out how to feather the blades on the prop shaft.
