Matt Seabrook Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 Mounts for the roll cage had to be added. Rather than bolt them in seeing as I have a bare chassis I thought I would weld them in. This should help to make them as rigid as possible. The cross braces should help a little with chassis stiffness to. I have welded captive nuts on to the bake of the tubes to make life easier and neater. Quote
Martin Keene Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 What's the rose joint on top of the gear lever for? Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted May 20, 2011 Author Posted May 20, 2011 The gear lever is too far forward so I made a gear lever extension for it. I wanted the remote gear lever as positive as possible so I made up an extension with bearings in both the original and the remote gear lever. This was almost as good as using the gear lever straight out of the gearbox. This is what it looked like when it was in Buttercup Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted May 21, 2011 Author Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks. Out of interest the bearing used are from skate board trucks. Quote
