I took advantage of 3 days of rain over the Holiday Weekend last week and made some progress. I got the Engine and Transaxle installed for the last time hopefully. Brakes and emergency brake mounted. Radiator and front cowl section shaping up. AC lines hooked up to compressor. Engine coolant...

Any recommendations on a Hydraulic Crimper for the AC Hose? I see some for $150-$200 has anyone had experience with these? Thanks Phil

Carman I will take the door inserts. Thanks Just noticed Kristian's post so after him.

I had these aluminum anodized stick on labels made for my brake and clutch reservoirs by A-1 Engraving Services. I plan on using these for the switch panel also.

Since my body and chassis are at the bodyshop I started work on my dash. Started by making the aluminum switch plates which where kind of a pita. I made a template then ordered the aluminum pieces (0.63) online which I had cut to size. I used a cheap 18" bench top brake to make the bends then...

Nice work Sean. So what color are you going with?

I am exploring the options for replacing the rear tail section Plexiglas window for my RCR40 with a glass window. Seeing that RCR does not supply these I would have to use a window from one of the other Mfgs. I am looking to purchase one that is readily available asap. I realize it may not be a...

For those of you that have considered setting up to do your own powder coating I say go for it. I did not realize how easy it is to setup and powder coat. All you need is a small blaster, an electric stove ,and Powder Coat Gun setup which is about $100 and of course Air but most of you have...

I am considering using these collapsable ones...they are not very big and seeing the fiberglass is not very thick in some spots it does not take a lot of pressure to collapse them. I just need to find a 6/32 collet for my Riv-Nut tool. It came with 1/4-20 the smallest. Thanks for the input.

Neil I am not sure how I would attach those. Wouldn't I need access from the back which is not possible? Thanks Rod The Stainless inserts come in a pack of 5 for $10.38. They are the thick wall ones 90247A008. You can also get them in Black Phoshate @ $6.75 for a pack of 10. No reason they...

I think these inserts work fine on the Light covers however I am not sure about using them on the side windows. What are most guys using for side windows. ? any suggestions? Thanks

Got my chassis back from powder coating. I had them use a Satin Black powder and I am very satisfied with the way it came out. I will add an undercoating on the bottom. I started the process of re-assembling the front and rear suspension and some panels. I am taking my time polishing some of the...

I spent some time today on the door handles. There was not enough meat on the fiberglass to drill a hole and install a pin to hold the door handle. I cut and drilled a couple of pieces of angle iron and made a small pin to hold in place. Worked out good..just need to fiberglass the angle iron in...

I am looking to replace the tail section (not the cabin) Plexiglas window with Glass. Anyone know of any options available or suppliers for RCR MK1? Thanks Phil

Thought I would add these cups are an option when you do not have enough clearance between the panels.

I had some time to work on the body while my chassis is out for powder coating. I decided on installing the Quicklatch setup on the cowl and front clip. I had to be very careful when making the holes..they need to be lined up perfectly to work correctly. I chose the 1 1/4" for the cowl and 1...

Thanks Chris for that info. I have not got to that point yet. In the meantime I have sanded the complete chassis using an orbital electric sander with 80 and 120 grit. I went a little rougher underneath because I plan on undercoating the bottom. I should be dropping it off at the powder coaters...

Neil I had ordered the needle bearings and since they were taking a while to come in I went ahead and ordered the oiled bronze bushings. With this new information I will probably use the bronze bushings. That being said I am also considering switching to the Mcleod internal Hydraulic bearing. I...

A/C Compressor is included.
