Haven't posted any updates for a while. I've been busy with other projects or doing stuff on the car that's not very interesting (like bodywork).
Been finishing off a few things on the chassis before I send it off to get sand blasted and powder coated / painted (haven't decided yet).
I fabricated a driveshaft safety loop since the original disapeared after changing the hand brake setup. The original hoop was only 180 degrees and too far forward to do any good in the event of a uni breaking.
The new one is 360 degrees and can be unbolted to make it easier to remove the drive shaft. It's always made me a bit nervous the thought of the drive shaft spinning right next to my hip with nothing but a layer of fiberglass in between. I'll probably never have a problem with the drive shaft it but it's worth it for the piece of mind.
You can see the mark on the chassis where the old hoop was ground off. That'll give an idea of how it sat in relation to the drive shaft.
Finally finished off the power steering. Got the cooler mounted and made up all the lines to connect everything.
The other thing to do was to make some mounts and weld them to the cross member for the Accusump. Originally I was thinking of mounting it on the passengers foot box but decided this will keep the weight lower down on the car and keep it away from the heat from the side pipes.
Hoping to strip the whole thing down in the next week or so to take the chassis in for blasting. After that it'll be bolting everything back on for the last time. Can't wait.
Cheers
