Thanks

yeah just winged it, it works well but theres a few things i would change it doing a mk2

[Rosco]

Prop shaft turned up from dunning and fairbank on Friday so lots of jobs to be done





So got the prop bolted in and mounted my rear view mirror

[Rosco]

Gear linkage mocked up





Mounts for bel crank



Plate for centre bearing sorted and mounts for gear lever done

Not overly happy about the handbrake lever position but it's not in the way when sat in the seat and it's the best position for the cable

[Rosco]

Front cross brace done



Water pipe mounts, will have rubber grommets in

[Rosco]

My dad cut me a bigger gear out of mdf on his cnc as a test, as the normal 140mm that people use was way to small, the motor needed to much grinding out
We went for 160mm and the motor only needed a little bit out in a few places, I'm really happy as the motor doesn't sit through the bottom of the car

I will get a steel gear laser cut out now, we powered it up on the mdf and it worked a treat

Also got the handbrake mounted

Got a couple of prop catchers done tonight, these two will be welded on, I'm going to make a front one that bolts on else I will never get the prop in and out









The tube was a bit of rear hub tube I had left over and it's a perfect fit in between the tunnel

[Rosco]

Quick update, just tacking the last few bits onto the chassis, my vin number came today, just need to make a plate and sort some earth points then ready for powder coat

Passenger bulkhead bead rolled and fitted





Gear lever taking shape



The black smudge is where I'm going to weld my vin number
