Stulet-GTT Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 haha im a twat Well you said it...Have been reading this thread for a while now but never comented on it..Does look an awsome build an some quility work going into it aswell... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jason_l Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks dude Right, its finally that time Steve, you ready for this........................ *** Update Time ***Right after getting the gearbox bracket welded up i finally got it fitted and started looking at the gear cables.Then got the bracket on the shifter side welded up ready for the cables.Then after fitting for a few hours with the cables they where finally in. These where a nightmare to fit as they could only really go in one way and i was fighting them the whole time. They still need some extra fittings added around the engine to hold them off of the alternator and keep them secure.shifter side.......gearbox side........Sat in the Buggy for a bit and i have all 5 gears plus reverse. The gears are very nothchy, precise and you really have to be exact when changing. Bit weird but im sure i will get used to it.Then started looking at the pedal arrangement, alot of faffing about as nothing you buy is a direct fit and needs modifying in some way!First got the mini clutch and brake pedals and started working on them.Cut the original lugs off so they could be moved to their new position.and in there new position.I also wasn't happy with the original welding on the back of the pedals, not something i want to be repairing at a later date when it snaps so i added more weld now. Going to get the pedals powdercoated green when the rest of the parts get sent off.went from this, original welding.......to this, should last now.........Also bought a new clutch pedal clevis but again this needed modding to fit but got there in the end. I also had to re-position the clutch pedal lug as the pedal was not level with the brake clevis parts........fitted in the pedal box........Also managed to get the brake light switch fitted in position so when i press the pedal down i will get brake lights, and finally got the pedal spring fitted so the pedals return to their original location when i lift off them.Then came the thottle pedal, i decided to use the Starlet one but modify it to suit. I have worked out i need about 50mm of movement on the thottle body to fully open it so need to work out this on the pedal side. I have started modding it but need to look at option to connect the cable itself. It also wasn't lining up with the other pedals so i have spaced it off the bulkhead by 25mm on a spacer i made.Just need to work out the cable and its all done on the pedal side of things, minus brake cables.All in position................Exhaust bracket has been finally finished off also, when i orignally made this it was in a different position but didn't work so has had to be remade to suit.welded up.......and fitted in place, another thing crossed off the list........Then i made some brackets for the battery to be fitted into place. I made them slightly bigger than the battery so if i ever change the battery and its slightly bigger then it should still fit. I just need to add a few bits of foam at the bottom to hold the battery securely in place.welded bracket pieces.......with straps........and battery added in place, just needs the cover/footrest making now..........Made a bracket to fit the interior mirror to and got that welded in place, there is surprisingly alot of rearward vision as it sort of looks under the intercooler. Hopefully this will be ok for the IVA test, fins out one day........all fitted in place........Finally got round to making the oil catch tank bracket and that was also welded in place..........fits nicely next to the fuel reg, just needs the breather vent added when i get one.......Then it was all put back together and is currently wrapped up awaiting to be worked on once again. Sorry i didn't update sooner, been so busy the last few weeks.How's that update then? Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jason_l Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 whoo update looks great best thing is how you take time on the tiny things cant wait to hear this beast Thanks Mate, problem is its the tiny things that take most of my time. Nearly everthing i buy needs modding in some way to fit, takes ages to do ANYTHING! Dying to hear it start up Woo that is some update...Some bloody nice work going on there..Once all parts made/welded/ grinded an sorted will you be having them all sprayed or powder coated??? what sort of colour schem ya going for???Thanks Dude Yes once its all done its getting stripped down and sent off to have most of it powdercoated. Frame is going Black and arch's, nosecone, spoiler etc is all going lime green! Awsome update mate, bet you was like a big kid sat in it with the pedals and gears in place Was even making the engine sounds and pretending to drive it along! Gears are so notchy, will take some getting used to.oh yes, yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes......*slaps face*thats the update fix i needed. im a demon druggie and needed that fix from the 3 weeks cold turkey awesome progress jase this is looking so close to completion i cant wait for it to finishwhats the main plans left for it. obviously wiring loom fitted then what?LOL guess you are happy then. Has it really been 3 weeks??? Flippin heck how time flies! Going to leave the wiring for the moment as i will get the TGT guys to finish that off later when it goes back there! Next jobs are to fit the thottle cable and finish pedal. Measure for custom braided brake lines, start making the nose cone (HUGE job) etc, may even make the huge wing as that will make me smile! loljust after reading all 18 pages, what a great build and a lovely bit of engineering... top work Thanks Mate.
