Made some more progress on this, despite finding a small problem with the chrome. Originally I was going to keep the chrome valve covers and blower. However, while doing the wiring, I noticed that the chrome was rubbing off. I made the choice of stripping off all the chrome and spray them silver, and to be honest, it looks better for it. I tried to find a different way of doing the ignition leads, and came up with the idea of clumping the wires together, inserting them in to a piece of tubing which is then attached to the top of the mag. I then used a small length of heat shrink tubing threaded over the wires and pushed on top of the mag, and heat treated. As you can see in the pics, the valve covers were drilled out, and plug boots were pushed in to them. The wires were then inserted and left loose, so that they can adjusted as the covers are fitted.  20150119_004521 by doomcrew, on Flickr  20150119_004558 by doomcrew, on Flickr  20150119_004839 by doomcrew, on Flickr  20150119_004628 by doomcrew, on Flickr  20150119_004741 by doomcrew, on Flickr |

This is where I am with the Topo. Just getting the prepped for paint, and I was toying with the idea of a rear wing, but as of yet, I am undecided. I scratch built the fuel pump, fuel block and fuel tank. The tank was made from chemiwood, with sheet pewter strapping, and a turned cap. I also turned two of the blower pulleys, before my lathe choose to stop working again, it is very hit and miss at the moment, and still can't work out why. I scratch built the ally side panels and part of the steering along with the brackets for the front axle. Plenty still to do.  20150225_132215 by doomcrew, on Flickr  20150225_132231 by doomcrew, on Flickr  20150225_132253 by doomcrew, on Flickr  20150225_132303 by doomcrew, on Flickr  20150225_132318 by doomcrew, on Flickr |
