I shortened oil sump and made sump plate...

I also shortened oil pick up:
Before:


After:


And last progress - I made suspension breckets:


In the meantime together with my brother we started making model/plug for bodywork (scuttle to be precise)...

First of all, I'm little depressed... I'm unemployed (still), at June 22nd Polish government change the rules of registering kitcars (Alga - you where very lucky ;) ), so my motivation is very low. But I didn't give up as there is always light in the tunnel...

For last few months I did almost nothing.
I welded some harness mounting points, diff plates and that's all.




I was thinking about how to mount upper harness anchor points for use with popular in Poland long 4point harnesses... and I found this:

Short, 4point, Sabelt road legal harnesses (made in Italy - not cheap "China Top Quality"). So - they are mine - for about £60...
"Formula type" harnesses are very rare in Poland because there are no formula racing series or something. We got only one FIA approved track... That's why I'm so glad of myself.

The tunnel is long and the light is faint Lucas,but it is there !;)

Good to hear you are still going on with your build:)

Every small step gets you closer to the goal.
Just ask if we can help;)

Yesterday I picked up pack... No - I'm not a drug dealer ;)



As you can read - it's Sodium Carbonate not cocaine (4kg of cocaine would be worth more than my whole Roadster project)
What make me funny - I think in Poland, in my 200k citizen's city, it's easier to buy AK-47 than Sodium Carbonate. There is no such thing like washing soda or similar in the markets... strange country... how people lived without Internet...

Now I can clean my "Sierra stuff"...

Good for you Lucas. You'll see how magic the electrolysis with sodium carbonate is. Just amazing!
Good luck :)

Hehe, are are you planning to electrolize your whole chasis? :-) I jused just a couple of spoons of soda for ~30-40 l of water. It was totally sufficient. My 6A battery charger was giving ~4A on large parts such as brake disks. Also, I made Na2CO3 by heating baking soda on the stove. It made a nice volcano-like reaction when steam and carbon dioxide was escaping the powder.

2 NaHCO3 -t-> Na2CO3 + H20 + CO2

P.S. Yeah, Wojciech mentioned to me about the change of rules. But if you just get on with the build, by the time you're finished the new path will be broken.

I was ordering from Internet and I need to buy 4kg or 25kg for better value/postage ratio ;) I will sell 1-2kg to my friend who is fascinated with electrolysis for his WWII artefacts...

I was electrolysing my rear brake calipers with salt water - not bad, but soda should be better.

As for rules in Poland - they change it so often (not only registering rules, but everything like VAT, taxes etc.) that this can be truth - so I "keep calm and build roadster" ;)

I have another challenge - to find CDS tube for my wishbones... or even not CDS but in right size/diameter.

Try Benteler distributors (previously Helens), they're multinational steel traders. My local branch allows ordering whatever you like with a minimum order of one 6 m length. CDS rollbar, wishbone tubes -- they have whatever you need, with the European quality certificates.
