Nicks Sammio Build - take 2

[WorldClassAccident]

It is just a holding bracket. It takes no force. What could possibly go wrong?

[Viatron]

Personally I would put another rivet in the corner to stop the bracket turning on the centre rivet but otherwise it's fine, it takes no force and have done the same on many race cars and never had an issue.

[WorldClassAccident]

Fair point Viatron. I was thinking the solder would stop the spinning but I I have the hub off or access to it with a drill I will pop another rivit in.

[WorldClassAccident]

Right - this weekend should be expensive. I found some cash down the back of the sofa to allow me to progress (or at least order the bits). The list so far:

Deposit to Gary for the body
Fuel Pump
Fuel Filter
Fuel SenderFuel Pipe
Brake Masters
Brake Servo
Brake Pistons
Rear Brake (1 side only)
Rear Brake shoes
Clutch Master
Brake Pipe clips
Brake Flexis
Brake Fluid
Wiring Loom
Battery
Electronic ingnition thingy ( The dizzy on the Essex is known not to be great)
Gear and Rear Diff Oil

That should get me enough to keep going. Hopefully at the end of it I will have a running engine and working brakes.

...ah the pain.

...If you do happen to bump into Gary please say 'hello' from me...

[WorldClassAccident]

We that is the deposit paid on the body. Just got to get the rest of the car ready to receive it.

The flag blue Sammio looked cracking and it was good to see how much the other G46 had moved on. helped me work out what I need to do

[Nike55]

Yes, the more G46's around the better as they will all be a little bit different and may generate ideas and also benefit others and help avoid a few pitfalls or expensive mistakes along the way.

[WorldClassAccident]

I have decided to go with round wheel arches and twin humps. I have only seen the photos of the Sammio with twin humps which looked good. I think the bigger G46 will look even better.

Suddenly realised how much I have to do to the chassis first. Main bits are brakes, fuel, electrics and find a replacement bit for the suspension. Loads of time given 1 day a week where I can actually work on the car and that normally gets interrupted.

[Nike55]

..so you have gone over to the Dark Side and plumped for the accursed 'Round Wheel Arches'

Only one word to sum this up.....









.................................................. SPLITTER!!!!!

Sorry to highjack the thread, but my favourite line in that iconic film is delivered when all the various factions are fighting each other in the sewer:

Brian, delivered with frustrated angst - "Brothers, we should be struggling together!"

Anon, sounds exerted - " We are struggling together!"

I can't wait to see the twin hump G46 I think it going to look the nuts, when do you expect to get the body?

[Welsh 46r]

As another 46 builder i thought i'd say hello , also depending what suspension parts you require i have found queensbury road garage very good with parts arriving next day
