I get the impression people seem to think there is very little work happening to our chair so I thought I'd do an update on some of the work that's been going on this past week.
I've repaired the rear swing arm so it's bearings will fit properly and fitted new bearings then mounted a '99 R1 shock in the rear.
Made some new soft engine mounts for the front, which we'll fit later on this week.
I made a new foot pedal assembly for the gear shifter out of aluminium.
Yesterday I made some spacer blocks to fit between the two halves of a motorcycle brake calliper so it can be mounted on the car disk up front. This will be our auxiliary brake. For this brake we're using a Brembo master cylinder. This however needed a new rear half of the bar clamp made ( the bolts are offset so I couldn't use any old clamp), which I've now done.
I did an average job of welding up the exhaust too.
We've got a couple of 13x7 Hotwire mags to go on the chair wheel to replace the steel 13x10 rims on it. This however means we need to get some more front sized tires.
While you sit there liking things just cos' everyone else does, I'll be standing up here keeping it real.
