Gingea1pom's Build Diary

I cracked on and cut out some 5mm plate for the engine mounts, two large pieces to sit flat on the chassis and two pieces to bolt to the engine. Nothing outstanding here I just traced around the old engine mount and cut it out.

Then decided the lack of pillar drill will be a big hold up, so because I am an impatient when it comes to buying stuff (I want to hand my money over and walk off with the item) I went to Wicks and purchased said item.

Now I like a good bit of engineering, and would rather pay a little more for the same item if it is better made and will last longer. I am under no illusion that my new £55 pillar drill is not at the height of pillar drill engineering HOWEVER after 8, 10mm holes through 5mm steel it is performing well, I am keeping the drill bit well cooled with oil.

Should have the mounts finished tomorrow. Anyone else working on the roadster on valentines day?
