A bit more chassis related progress. We really are getting close now. I think.
So, the car is going to run with a rear ride height of 100-105mm. The standard chassis isn't designed to run that low and hence, if it did, the Panhard rod would likely come into contact with one of the chassis tubes. Consequently, something needed to be done. I actually forgot to take a 'before' photograph but figured that a picture would help, so what you can see directly below is me holding the original (downward sloping) tube against the new one.
The new tube therefore looks like...
Neat, I hope you'll agree.
Other works well under way include the prop catcher (here shown at a bizarre angle and highlighted in red.)
Also, the aforementioned water-cut bracket for the Digi Dash 2 arrived and has been tacked into place:
The bracket can be seen behind the paddles.
The next major(ish) job requires the propshaft so that will be ordered next week. In the meantime, Kate is going to help me to trial fit the bodywork on Saturday.
Watch this space....
