The last few months have seen slow progress once more! I have managed a few short visits to the workshop, but despite this I've made some progress. The universal joint that transfers the gearchange action to the correct location has been fabricated using an old steering linkage. The plan had then been to use some nylon bushing to ensure that the shaft in the tunnel moved smoothly, however, this didn't work very well so I am now using more rose joints which should make for a solid feel to the shift. Finally, as a pre-christmas morale boost, I assembled one of the front hubs and fitted it which now gives a good impression of what the finished chassis will look like - my 'little helper' couldn't resist his first test drive! Best wishes to everyone for the new year and here's hoping that it brings me more days in the week so I can get the car to a state where it can come home quickly!
