We've had a busy week. I got lucky and won a set of wishbones on e-bay - should save a lot of time and the parts that we've already made can be used when we start on Johns car. As we have decided to ditch the Fiesta rear subframe, I've also been getting quotes for the CDS tube for the rear suspension - it was much more reasonable than I thought so I will order that soon. Had a minor panic when I could not contact Ellistons kit parts for a while - I've paid them for a reconditioned set of cortina uprights and hubs, however, eventually contacted them, thanks in no small measure to those helpful people on the locostbuilders website. Finally, John and I spent Sunday morning making the rear gearbox mount and working on the gearchange mechanism - pictures of the mount are here. Plans for this week include collecting the front hubs, when it will at last be time to finalise the front of the car and get some wheels on!!
Finally, this week was novel for one final reason. For once it was John who left the workshop dripping blood - this is normally my speciality and I've been keeping antiseptic manufacturers in business for some time!!!
