Bit more done today new tooling is arriving and making things much easier














Nearly there with the fronts now I need to radius the sharp corners and put some undercuts in to take some of the weight out not that there is much to take out

Cheers Andy

well the car has gone for blasting today fingers crossed we get it back with no holes tmw

nearly finished the calliper mounts just need to radius the edges and de-burr it all then on to the next thing

so this transmission thing has been driving me mad so I think this is it, I think it will still be on the power at 8200 rpm, and remember the tyre grows an inch @150 mph. Its a chicken and egg thing no data from the engine as I cant run it as I don't have a trans yet so this is best guess.

26" tyre
3.88 FD
change at 8k

Gear RPM MPH

1st 2.75 0 58
2nd 1.88 5500 85
3rd 1.44 6000 114
4th 1.05 6000 152
Maybe
5th 0.77 5900 207

engine should be on boost by 5500 rpm

maybe we have the formula?

any input would be great

cheers andy

Well I've remade then calliper brackets that I managed to turn into scrap and I've started on the vacuum pump and alternator mount.







Nothing todo with the car but I thought I would have ago at opening a head for 94mm cylinder came out ok

Only went to the office to tidy up as I've got my NICEIC yearly check tmw and the place looks like a machine shop not an electrical contractors lol and found





So I got distracted and made some hoses lol





Not sure if to mount the vacuum regulator here




Started on the vacuum catch tank








I've got to remove some more material and put some wadding and the outer on yet and some oring groves and breather holes it's works out about 3l which I think is about the correct size

Vacuum catch tank 95% done lets just hope it works

O-Ring grove done and breather holes done



bit of foam to act a baffle









just got to swap the out case from stainless to aluminium when the material arrives

cheers andy

done
