Pictured above: Goodyear tires mounted to BBS rims. Each component
is hand-molded separately, and then assebled, though both are made of the
same polyeurethane resin material and painted.
Even here, the most minute details have been captured accurately:
the tire valve-stem, PI tire pressure sensor, and the lead ballast have
all been reproduced faithfully. Even the ejection moulding lines on the
tires are replicated accurately.
Below: the custom-moulded driver's seat is a standard one-piece
design with break-away shoulder to allow easier installation into the cockpit.
The basic seat is moulded from polyeurethane foam, trimmed, and then covered
with fabric.
The five-point safety harness belts are actual fabric, and all
buckles are made in stainless steel.
