C3 Race Car Build

[Oneball]

If I don’t make Snett, I won’t make Thruxton. Can’t do Anglesey due to bday so first race would be Brands 4th June.

Now that's annoying, we're looking after our granddaughter that weekend and we can't go to Brands with her in the Corvette. I think you better just get it ready for Snetterton

Started making up door panels today.

Cut from coated fibreboard. Got to make up a door caping to finish the top off and a final trim when in place.

 

[Oneball]

Not got any further with the interior but I’ve started fabricating a front suspension brace.

 

[Oneball]

Changed the brake servo and all seems good, pedal returns quickly, no brake drag and feels normal.

 

[johng]

so is that just a different servo? Presumably you still don't know what was wrong with the other one.

 

[Oneball]

The new one is a Tuff Stuff one it’s like the 1976 on ones. There’s a spacer so it’ll work with both types of power master cylinder

 

[Oneball]

Brackets made for the suspension brace

And welded

Looks sunny. Warm though? Can't wait to work on the car in nice weather.

Its an illusion, it started hailing whilst I was doing that.

I had that too yesterday afternoon / evening. Was out in the garden doing digging and stuff in the nice sunny weather, then suddenly hail came down. Was most weird.

 

[Oneball]

Brace fitted


Door card on too, need to trim the top and make a door capping, think I’ll paint the handle black.

What is the hose that loops across the rocker covers in first pic?

Engine breather, goes from the rocker cover to a catch tank.

 

[johng]

Looking good as usual, is the handle by the gear lever to help steady the terrified passenger, or just waiting to go on the other door card?
