Okay, I've not made a massive amount of progress due to a great new job (Mmmmm, Pies!) plus plenty of busy evenings (spinning mostly - Ouch!)
Anyway, I have done a little bit of fabrication. This started with the realisation that my standards had dropped a bit on the two parts that I'd previously described as 'organic-looking.' The upshot is I cut the crappy looking bits off and re-made them.
The white tape is, as before, in place to remind me what needs final welding. I'm increasingly inclined to leave this to Dave at Track Developments as he's much better at it than me. The new little bracket on the left is going to support a RAM mount for my iphone - £9 for a GPS lap-timer/data logger? Yes please. The round tube in the foreground of the above picture is set to be the main support for the outer column - it needs to be notched in the centre so that the column can be guided between the brake and clutch pedals. The 30mm round tube that's rolled under the pedal box in the photo is the outer column itself and needs to be drilled for lightness; think machine-gun barrel.
Also 'fabbed'n'tacked' are the exhaust mount (foreground below) and the mounts for the bolt-on side impact protection (background below and very blurry below-below..)
Sorry - the camera on my phone is really not great!
The column and the reverse motor mounts are the last major parts to fabricate. I'll hopefully make meaningful progress in the next week or two.
