Long time without updates, but it's back in pieces again:
Basically having the surfaces machined true and making sure everything is spot on and prepped as it all goes back together, all the sealing tape off the ports, new gaskets, aligning all the new belt runs, etc, ready for firing up.
After trying the double diaphragm clutch the other month, went hunting for a tiny pull-type hydraulic slave cylinder, eventually found one that would fit, so onto the other end:
Yes, strange shaped bulkhead with the fuel tank behind plus a requirement for the fluid reservoir to be behind the bulkhead led to a strangely shaped pedal too. Only a mock up (the ally tube is too soft to support the bearings long term, probably make a sleeved one), but seems to work ok.
And everything fell off the car again so the rear geo. jig could go on to finalise the rear arms:
Oooh, look, a lovely shiny working thing, lets break it!
Ooops, I, err, it wasn't me, a strange bloke broke it and ran off.
Then there was an incident involving a pillar drill butchering some finely machined components, a tap, some deburrers and some extra parts. I didn't take a photo of those because of their graphic nature to anyone of a pistonheaded persuasion.
Anyway, it all got back to being shiny after some TLC and some T-cut, and I think all the important bits went back in. I'm sure it'll fine.
That bit that pinged off into the corner didn't look vital.
Look, 1 whole wheel on the floor, we've invented an agricultural unicycle!
And look, a real floor, that's an extra 5 years on my kneecap lifespan!
