Not knocking it mate looks sound I haven't even thought about steering wheel yet

Mounted up my diff tonight. When I built the chassis I positioned the diff plates by bolting them to the diff, clamping them up in position and then tacking the plates down. Now that I have solid bushes with no play and...
...the holes are of course slightly out. Nothing a rotary burr cant sort. |
Very solid in there now.
I need to adjust my nose bracket now too, again because there is no play and I made the nose bracket when there was play, the holes don't line up. Cheers Stot |
Altered my nose bracket to fit, it just needed to be about 4-5mm shorter.
Proper sized bolts and some spray paint will finish it off. :cool: Cheers Stot |
Moving on quickly!
Good work. TT |
Cheers TT. Got to try and do 'something' every day.
I made up some brackets to hold my handbrake cables in place. I wanted to bolt them directly to the diff bolt which is 12mm and although the original MX5 brackets could just handle a 12mm hole, they twisted to buggery when I tried to drill them. Cut these out on the CNC Mill. I annealed the center section using sharpie marks as indicators. The threaded rod and vice are acting as a heat sinks so the ring parts don't anneal. The tab at the end will bend round and conform to the nut/bolt head when fitted so that needs annealing too. Then I bent it in half round a form then put the threaded rod thorough it and tightened 2 sockets on it to pinch it into shape. |
And this is what I ended up with.
I had to open them up and re-pinch them to get them on the cables. And then bolted them to the underside of the diff bushes. Jobs a good un. Cheers Stot |
Luv it bud.....you think exactly along the lines that I do and it is refreshing for me to see it somewhere else being done.:cool: :cool:

Thanks Kev. Its good to find alternative solutions so I can use my toys.
Speaking of which. I adapted my handbrake caliper mounts, rather than cuting and welding them I drilled a new hole and re profiled the stops. When mounted up they give me plenty of clearance from the seat back. Cheers Stot |
I bought this this week for my post IVA build. £15. Who can guess why? :D
