A bit late to comment but i hadn't seen your post before. how could I miss that ?

It is a very neat adaptation of my design you've made here. All aluminium and TIG welded? Nice, strong and light, I like it Congrats!

Been a while since my last post. I've not been able to get much done lately had a little accident with an angle grinder.

Managed to go through my tendons so a bit of surgery and six weeks in a splint.
I've made a bit of progress now though so a quick update for you all.



not sure if I've fitted the steering wheel a bit high though.


Cheers for looking

Cheers Arfon. Its a homemade effort out brass flat plate, bit of work with a hamer and some tig welding and a lot filing. Hoping it'll pass the radius test .

A steampunk exhaust mount, love it. Is the rest of the car gonna follow suit.?

[TalonMotorFabrication]

That is a very nice piece of work well done.
That little rubber bobbin is intended to be used in compression not in shear as you have used it. As the car bounces and the exhaust vibrates the rubber and steel parts will part company after awhile.
