Under these access panels, you need to disconnect the brake master cylinder lines, clutch master cylinder lines, fuel lines, steering shaft, lines to heater core, and the fuel filler. We took a long time to remove the steering shaft as it was fairly rusty, and was hard to separate. We actually only got it fully separated during the lifting the GRP body phase, as when the body was partially lifted away from the frame, we then had the required room to remove the shaft from the lower joint.

Also, the battery cables have to be fed out the holes in the battery compartment as the body begins to lift away from the frame. You can see pictures of some of these components being disconnected above…
