Thanks for the kind words guys.
The epoxy cured off, so I finalized the back of the cab. Test fitted the lower rear panel, so I was happy with the fit, then bit the bullet with the glue and fixed it on for the last time. Pretty much just tacked everything into place, then left it for the glue to cure. Cure time was 24hr's, so final welded the cab after that.
Well I've caught up to my current position. That's around 12 months of work in a few posts. Is there any way I could make it more interesting to a wider audience or carry on as is?

Beautiful work Chris. Please carry on. I especially interested in the Jag IRS. I've installed mine and read everything I have been able to find, but still need to fabricate the radius rods and torque?braces so I'm interested in your fabrication.
One thing I made to help was this laser pointer adapter to locate the radius rod anchor point when I get the frame bracing and transmission mount in place. It screws on to the inner fulcrum bolt and locates the forward anchor point.

Chris,
All you OZ guys seem to do very very nice work
I like the modern day use of the epoxy=glue.
Nice to put the Jag parts to use.
Will be following along with your build

Hi Eugene
The laser pointer is a good idea. I had some extra fulcrum shafts, so I joined them together and that gave me spot X. Our Low Volume Certifier Manual gives us a couple of ideas that they want us to use when setting a Jag IRS up. If you want to see it, I'll send it to you.

G'Day Chris,

Don't worry about the wider audience just keep posting, nice work by the way.
Funny how a lot of people don't know about the Ditch that separates OZ and NZ.

Chris, great solution.
I'd appreciate any information for setup. Can you PM it?
