Gingea1pom's Build Diary

8 Feb

I managed all day in the garage today and cleared up some outstanding jobs.

Steering column support. Done. (just needs the open ends of the top tube plating)

Lower seat belt anchorages. Done.

Foot well plates CP16 & 17. Done.

Plate up the ten open ends on chassis tubes. Done (they took ages)

Flip the chassis over and fully weld up suspension mounts. Done.

I thought most of my welding was done but I have now realised I still need to fabricate some headlight mounts and I forgot to fit CP14 the hand break guide plate. Of to my old mans tomorrow so probably no work on the roadster.

I managed to get all the aluminium panels drawn at my father’s place on Autocad and printed out, once home and collected the kids from school I cut the passenger side transmission tunnel and the two transmission tunnel top pieces and stuck them on with masking tape.

I had to modify the forward top of transmission tunnel as my steering wheel support frame encroaches a little, but it is easier doing it with paper rather than ally.

I have created some tabs / flaps so I can secure the transmission side pieces and the transmission tunnel top to the seat back, just to give them a little more support / rigidity.

No work tomorrow I am of on a school trip to the Southampton Maritime Museum with James and his class, Nicky volunteered herself ages ago and now has tonsillitis, so as I am off work I get to go on a school trip!

Pigging Sierra is still on the drive, I forgot to ring them today.
