Build Diary - 24th August 2005

The std Tiger exhaust should fail the SVA test as it has sharp edges (stupid rule if you ask me, i'd be more worried about the skin melting temperature than a few sharp edges!). Step 1 was to grind the welds down using an angle grinder. This will be finished off later and made to look all pretty! |
|
Dashboard template made up from cardboard. The rules of the SVA say that if the dash is padded then the edges must have a 2.5mm (I think..) radius on them, if the dash is hard (like mine is going to be) then the radius has to be 19mm. |
|
I will cut the dash from 5mm ply, and glue extra wood the lower part of the dash at the back so I can achieve my 19mm radius. When its done it will hopefully be covered in either carbon fibre look film, or vinyl. |
|
The throttle linkages should really have been fitted to the carbs before they were bolted to the manifold, never mind, I like a challenge! |
|
Gave up, took one of the carbs off and fitted the linkage... |
|
Another piccy of the linkage, nice isn't it..... |
