Time for another monthly update. \u00c2\u00a0The tubes to which the side boxes on the car will be riveted – bolted are now all in place.<\/p>\n

The first pic show what I had to do to give something to rivet to at the rear, again where I’d not put the cross brace in properly to the CAD model.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next picture shows the strips to which the bulkheads in the boxes will bolt, with 4mm bolts, I’ve\u00c2\u00a0decided\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0to bolt where possible rather than use blind rivets everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another view of the same thing. \u00c2\u00a0More welding to be done, once the frame is stripped again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next is the shifter mechanism, its a cable design as any sort of solid rod mechanism looked\u00c2\u00a0impossible\u00c2\u00a0to fit. \u00c2\u00a0It uses to 80 series Hi Lex cables sourced through Flexible Drive Agencies<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0The aim was to eliminate as many levers and linkages as possible from the mechanism. \u00c2\u00a0The drop to the cable on the floor was required due to space limitations but the fore – aft cable has none in at all, it simply loops around the passenger footwell to go to the back of the car. \u00c2\u00a0All the levers and shafts rotate on\u00c2\u00a0miniature\u00c2\u00a0ball races, that kind found in RC model cars for example, which are nice, sealed and cheap. \u00c2\u00a0The spherical bearings on the cable and rods are THK<\/a> units.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the gearbox end its kept as simple as possible too, the fore aft cable loops around again for a direct push on the selector shaft and the cross action cable acts onto a lever. \u00c2\u00a0Its is possible for it to work directly like this as the cables have swivels built into them (under the boot near the fixed end).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The mechanism appears to work pretty well at a standstill hopefully it work when the car is moving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
