The last couple of weeks has seen some good progress on TK1. The chassis has had a good 'going over' with waxoyl, all bushes, trunnions and bearings checked and changed where necessary. The front and rear suspension has been lowered an inch and a set of Stainless braided brake hoses have been ordered.
A reconditioned LHD steering rack has been fitted with new track rod ends, gaiters and mounts:
Frame has been fitted with a Spitfire fuel tank:
A mounting bracket has been fabricated for the Compensator and after a brief from the customer, the rear exhaust hanger framework has been modified to accommodate a luggage storage.
The frame and floors have been coated with Raptor U-POL truck bed liner which we've found to be virtually indestructable (Mythbusters actually found it to be bomb proof!) and it's now time to start laying the wiring loom in preparation for the shell fitting.
