Steering and pedals sorted on the car now ...a replacement TR6 u/j was used and the column stretched slightly to get it in the right place , but relatively straightforward ...
I fitted Barry's Locost style aluminium fuel tank ...its about a 6.5-7 gallon tank , so couple of hundred mile radius ...big enough for this car ...it's hanging from the rear frame and has a brace bar running underneath it too ...it will come out through a hatch in the rear bulkhead ..
pictured with body roughly back in position , gives a better idea of how it fits ...cap will be centred using flexi rubber hose ...
I managed to get the stock handbrake and cable stop mounted too ...this is easily removable and not welded into the frame for ease of maintainence etc...
The cables will be lifted off the prop and secured at a later date ...
Ray is down tomorrow painting his frame ..so I will lower the rear of his car
( did the front today )and then stay out of his way ...so will probably start mounting Barry's bonnet and first fix of body etc...
