Before I attempt to construct a to-weld list, I must commend the team that I supported at the Birkett 6 Hour Relay Race as Silverstone on Saturday 29th October. The guys were all very quick and ran faultlessly. The result was a 'scratch' class win. Uber-Mega. I'm not going to give a blow-by-blow account of the day. Others are much more able than I in this regard. For example, click Dr Bob's linky-doo-dah on the right hand side if you are interested. What I would say is that although its an enjoyable day, it's not easy - and I inevitably get cold and wet at some stage. I actually hope that it's my last year 'taking part' as an administrator. I'd best get some work done then...
I'm a bit fearful of rushing this list as it will hopefully be a really useful reference. Thankfully I can edit blog entries so here goes. The list at this stage only covers the chassis itself and not things that hang-pff it.
- Front ARB mounts
- Radiator mounts
- Oil cooler mounts
- Engine mounts (taking inspiration from Wyn)
- Electric reverse mounts - I'm a bit worried about clearance - more in a later post
- Additional tube at bottom-front of the transmission tunnel
- Gear shift pivot mount
- Pedal box mount
- Prop catchers x 2
- Some side impact protection (tbc)
- Engine undertray Dzus tabs
- Tunnel cover Dzus tabs
- Rear undertray mounts/suppots
- Front roll cage mounts - I'm not 100% sure how best to do these yet
- Steering column mounts (top and bottom) - to incorporate paddle-shift mounts
- Crotch strap mounts for 6-poiint harness
- Fuel tank bobbins
- Replace hindmost tubes with something capable of supporting roll cage rearward supports
- Roll cage mounts for the above
- Tow strap mounts
- Rear ARB mounts (need to discuss with Dave at Track Developments)
- Bracket for rear brake line & cable at rear of tunnel.
And that's before I've tried to fit the body and worked out if that needs anything different.
I'd better get my welder fixed.
