Another first...Australia

[Fran Hall RCR]

Castings on an RCR...what a sacriledge......:tongue3:

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

Forgive me Fran -- I didn't know that you did billet magnesium uprights:stunned:

 

[Jim Cowden]

Chris

I can give you a contact for those wheels(rebel).
The die still exists.

Santa

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

For a guy with your kind of budget Chris...anything is possible...
How about some LMP ones like the Epsilon team use, cast Titanium.....

Just think,you could have a couple more pints and offset the weight by using lighter uprights...:thumbsup:

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

----and the gearbox was a snap to fit

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

Dear Francis --I don't think you're getting enough sleep these days:shocked: -- well, you know that Lola spyder aero screen you sent with Craigs (RCR Aust.)stuff many months ago. Ummm, it doesn't fit:huh:

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Must be a LHD drive one....check your PM.

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

The RHD screen suits the car much better:thumbsup:

After a lot of agonising over the "930" clutch slave apparatus, I've finally concocted this-- as prototype-- a bit more refinement and it will be billet machined from Al. simple, easy to attach and fits RCRs .:heart:

We had to do something with the steering arm as well:blank:

 

[Richard]

Always good to see some progress on your Lola, Chris. Thanks for posting.

 

wots the story with the steering arm then?? steve

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

I can only agree with you Richard:embarassed:

Stevo ---Rust! Queensland's humid weather is detrimental to all things iron , so an Aluminum replacement item had to be produced and hopefully counteract some bump steer

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

Countless hours of procrastination and I've finally concluded the trans support

 

[Randy V]

Looking good Chris...

The trans support looks a good bit beefier than the one I made for my Forty..

Could you show some close-ups of the mount and attachment points?

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

Damn :blank:--I new you'd ask that Randy,--- The main "hoops" are 1" tube with threaded plugs welded in each end --bolts thru the upper cross brace and bolts to a lower cross brace between the inner lower A arm posts. best I could come up with out further procrastination.

Slave cyl. mount for "930" clutch :-

 

[Randy V]

Thanks for posting the close-ups Chris...

I've been scheming on a method to tie the two lower control arm bolts together "behind" the heim/rose joint... Looks like you've done a tie-bar of sorts just in front too...

Many thanks...

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

And -- my miniscule efforts towards a single rod gear shifter ---seems to work good :shy:

 

[Jason Ferraro]

Love the NC machined parts. Looks great.

 

[Jack]

Very nice single rod solution. If I'm unhappy for some reason with the cable setup on the 930 that I'm using, I intend to copy yours...

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

Getting closer every day....Looking good Chris, ETA engine start?

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

She cranks ! :thumbsup: ---driveable over the xmas break then fit the PITA body
---Finally
