thanks Guys appreciate it...

first shot shows the starboard side to be attached, the Red arrows show that the wiring has to go inside the Instrument panel section, while the black tank connection also sits inside the main frame, this part is dry fitted and must be installed after side section is installed or your going to have a fit problem....
...and the next 2 starboard section fitted.

One finds oneself running out of superlatives to describe the level of admiration for your work,
So, to quote Tony the Tiger, "IT'S GRRR-EAT!!!"

Looks incredible Wayne. One more touch of realism, if you want to add it, is that the seat belt harness is suspended from that rail that runs behind the armour plate:
