Got the Hump

[CarNoob]

Kept looking at my seat position then the hump. I have taken a cast of the original hump. Make sure you put something on the original so it is easy to release! Out came the cutting disc and off it came now i can reposition and can also weld in some steel box to protect in case it rolls over(not that i intend to)

So you could say "you put the hump to the sword"

Nice work, I have to agree that the offset humps always bugged me, now the humps come separate at least ill be able to position them as I want.

Nice work, Noob. You are doing what I plan to do so I will be grateful for all pics and commentary. Do I see that you have marked a boot, and is that a ridge around the front of the cockpit?

[CarNoob]

yes i decided to set back the the dash for rev counter and cut out then bent some 4mm bar to join over the top and welded to keep frame intact[IMG][/IMG]

[CarNoob]

still work in progress if i started again iwould have altered the frame to make plenty of room for all the dials [IMG][/IMG]

Your car is going to have some nice individual touches.

Good luck, Paul.

[IMG][/IMG]Going to make the hump a bit higher and added some protection for my head just in case. Hit with lump hammer seems strong enough

What about the other hump!

[CarNoob]

plan to have the other one removeable with a push on and lock system. not worked out how yet

[CarNoob]

Your second hump seems to be coming together nicely.

How did you get the hump's edges to match the contours of the body shell, was it just trial & error?

Also do you have any more details on how your boot / boot lid works?

Cheers, Paul.

I made a cast of the other hump [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] Then made a copy trimed to fit other side and marked the body. used poly vinal tape to stop resin sticking to the body and fibre glassed the outline i had marked out. placed hump over outline after triming. Used a level and wedges to match other hump and roughly filled to bond to the base. Finally glass fill and sand. The boot is still work in progress will need hinges that lift enough to clear curve in the body.

Thanks for the explanation.

Cheers, Paul.
