Steering and Cooling 6 April 10

Some more work has been carried out on the race car and support vehicle.

The race car has now had new rose jointed steering mounts welded in. It has also had the fans and radiator mounted along with the oil cooler being mounted in front of the steering rack and behind the radiator.

More news from Neil 31 Aug 09

Things are still ticking over but the credit crunch has slowed progress this year.

Steering rack has been mounted and finished. Just some track rod ends to identify and source (nothing is standard on this car).

The Anti-roll bar is now also mounted and finished. It's 1" and will run behind the alloy radiator.

The front alternator is a 55amp from a VW Polo of all things but fits the space available. This has now been finally mounted.

Prop and rear drive shafts sourced from NW prop shafts should be thick enough.

The new race van has also been found and stripped ready for painting. It is going to be painted the same colour as the race car in the next 2 weks.
