Stots Build Thread

[twinturbo]

I was dreading doing the floor, but it was easy appart from the the adhesive being almost solid in the tube.

I made a jig out of a piece of angle iron with holes drilled at intervals. this was then moved allong the rails and used to drill the floor and chassis. worked a treat.

Been spending some after work time on some bits while the chassis is up on legs still.

Trial fitting and trimming the bodywork and fitting in the pedal box. With the nice padded seats the pedals are in just the right place for me.





I may be putting a little too much trust in those table legs though....

Top job stot. You and Johno have got the 2 best builds I have seen. You should be really proud !

Looks very good indeed!
What seats are they? They look very nice. any references?
Thanks.

[Stot]

Thanks guys. I must say that Johnos and many others finish will be leagues ahead of mine, mine is all smoke and mirrors. I think it will be one of the quickest builds though!

Voucht, the seats are full leather RX1110s from Interiors Seating. Not cheap to buy new but I picked the pair up second hand for £160. Mamba baby cub seats are similar but only available black vinyl.

Thank you for the links and the tips. This midland wheels website has very good prices on seats... and wheels. Might make a grouped order when it is time
Thanks.

Stot, are you using the book pedal box. I wasn't very happy with mine as I got over 1mm of flex at the master cylinder. Doesn't sound like much, but it is quite a bit at the actual pedal. I added an angle across the pedal box, and angles either side that hook around the chassis rail. I also added a stiffener under the floor as well. Made quite a difference and the pedal felt less spongy afterwards.

The pedal box is standard however my CP16 is made from 3mm plate instead of the book 1mm so I don't expect to see too much flex but ill be sure to check, thanks.
