Busy again.. Welded in my gearbox mount using the original MX5 engine mount.
A bit over done maybe but it was some pieces of 3mm plate I had and it works. Also re-thunk my diff nose bracket. I welded a 5mm tab onto the chassis and changed the axis so the forces are feeding through more braced areas. Ignore the dodgy bolts I need to order a bundle of M12 x 25s. |
I also started on the panels. Im using cardboard to make templates then cut out of some sheet.
And then I stopped because I should spend some time with my wife.... :D Cheers Stot |
I like the way that the crossmember and uprights have tied up with the gearbox mounts.:cool:

Its done in Epoxy Mastic chassis paint and we stippled it rather than leave brush strokes. Looks like a rollered finish. Cheers Stot |
Im on a go slow at the moment until my chassis fully cures but I got this delivered today.
Firm down the road wanted £100+vat to shorten and £50+vat per UJ to replace. :eek: Dunning and Fairbank quoted £85 + £12 carriage + VAT to shorten, new UJs and balance. Turned out it didnt need new UJs so £45 + carriage + VAT. Bargain! :cool: Cheers Stot |
Got my floor fitted!
I didnt use clecos, I drilled holes at every tube intersection to start and then riveted it down at 4 corners before drilling all the other holes. Drilled the 4 rivets out to clean up/deburr then sikaflexed the chassis plonked the sheet on top and riveted all round. 4 and a half hours to drill and deburr 264 holes then PU and rivet 264 rivets. Phew. Cheers Stot |
