Rosco's haynes Build

[Rosco]

Then painted a few little bits that couldn't be powder coated



Steering rack because I had to cut a bit off



Got some Teflon grease for my poly bushes

[Rosco]

Wishbones fitted



Few other bits fitted



Today's job was to get the seat panel fitted, my dad gave me a hand as it was quite tight and didn't want to scratch everything

The panel fit really well from the laser cutters and only needed a little trim on the tunnel top, then the top and bottom needed bending

We clamped the bottom Inbetween two bits of box section and the top between timber with a bevel on the back



It folded real nice

We both decided it needed bead rolling to match the rest

[Rosco]

All sealed and riveted



I decided to gob the backside with the sealer to stop any water or dirt getting trapped anywhere, not the neatest but does the job

[Rosco]

Right I'm back on the updates now, I've not got much done really, I've brought a Bridgeport mill so I've been sorting that out over the last few weeks



Back to the car, my dad made me some radiater brackets and a brake fluid bracket




These will all be powder coated then riveted on

[Rosco]

Engines back in to with stronger clutch springs



Gear linkage next, just working out the size of the bell crank to be made



Down arm added to gear lever, this will be shortened once I've decided the holes in the right place



Lastly put some skateboard grip tape on my pedals, also a clue as to what sort of colour scheme I'm going with

Jealousy is flowing freely through my veins!

How did you drill the bottom row of rivet holes in the rear panel without the floor getting in the way?

Haha thanks!

Urm I dunno really, I just angled the drill away a little, it was close but it's quite a slim chuck on my drill

[Rosco]

On the lathe tonight, I made some countersunk washers for my seats to spread the load a little





Everything aluminium will be going for anodising at some point

Ah good, I thought I was over complicating it in my mind.

[Rosco]

Bit more done tonight, I made three more washers, a bit smaller this time for my pedal box



Washed my fuel tank out and mounted the fuel pump



Foam padding stuck to chassis



Tank in place
