Busy again.. Welded in my gearbox mount using the original MX5 engine mount.



A bit over done maybe but it was some pieces of 3mm plate I had and it works.

Also re-thunk my diff nose bracket. I welded a 5mm tab onto the chassis and changed the axis so the forces are feeding through more braced areas.




Ignore the dodgy bolts I need to order a bundle of M12 x 25s.

I also started on the panels. Im using cardboard to make templates then cut out of some sheet.






And then I stopped because I should spend some time with my wife....

Cheers

I like the way that the crossmember and uprights have tied up with the gearbox mounts.

Ha... Actually she did miss one bit BUT its on the interior side of the dash so ill let her off.

Its done in Epoxy Mastic chassis paint and we stippled it rather than leave brush strokes. Looks like a rollered finish.

Im on a go slow at the moment until my chassis fully cures but I got this delivered today.



Firm down the road wanted £100+vat to shorten and £50+vat per UJ to replace.

Dunning and Fairbank quoted £85 + £12 carriage + VAT to shorten, new UJs and balance.

Turned out it didnt need new UJs so £45 + carriage + VAT. Bargain!

Cheers

Got my floor fitted!





I didnt use clecos, I drilled holes at every tube intersection to start and then riveted it down at 4 corners before drilling all the other holes. Drilled the 4 rivets out to clean up/deburr then sikaflexed the chassis plonked the sheet on top and riveted all round.

4 and a half hours to drill and deburr 264 holes then PU and rivet 264 rivets. Phew.

Cheers
Stot
