Default Space suit location?

I guess I'll photograph my car and send it in to BAT this week. I can't remember where the "space suit", white gloves and beige cleaning cloth go. For those that have not seen the space suit, it's a white lab jacket type accessory that came with our cars the first couple of years. You put it on to change tires, etc.

Love it ...I think Ferrari did it in the early days as well.

Do you have the frontmost cover that sits between the nose fairing and the airbox? On the right side of that piece as you're facing the engine, in front of the washer reservoir, is a little cubby. (This is going from memory right now): On my car, the lid to that cubby has a picture of some gloves. Is that where everything is supposed to live, that you're describing?

Good luck

That's where I thought it went as well, remember the gloves, but I don't recall the space suit.

Don't believe there was ever a "space suit" provided. There was a plastic tarp to help prevent getting knees, etc. dirty when changing a flat, but that's it as far as I know.

Wasn't there some kind of fender protection too?

PS That may have been aftermarket.
The Space suit is Nomex and only used on race days.

Cool. I guess someone added this thin white jacket to my car. I just don't remember where it was when I took it out. It would have to be jammed into the engine compartment storage bin thing and mine was not scrunched up so I assume it must have been around the spare or beside the tire pump.

Here's the old thread with an image of the jacket:https://rennlist.com/forums/968-foru...pace-suit.html
