My 65 race car

[Andy Sykes]

So not exactly progress but more weighing the car and moving things, not much more to do until I start the wiring the only part of this I have certificates for







Fuel tank is 15kg
Oil is 12 kg
Battery 19 kg
Me 115kg

[Andy Sykes]

few updates made a start on the wiring, I got out what I'm using lol









made a few parts for the steering







fitted a drive shaft from a 997 3.8 twin turbo auto, the cvs are the same size a s a 930 and the shaft is 30 mm rifle drilled










cheers andy

[Andy Sykes]

Bit more machine a flywheel for a flouter plate can't say I enjoyed it far to much concentration lol







Made some more tube







Cheers Andy

[richie]

Good job on the flywheel, and your welding looks like its getting better and better more you do

[Andy Sykes]

Thanks it took me ages to do the flywheel thanks for the loan of the floater, one step closer. I keep practicing at this welding thing it's made a big difference since I got a Pyrex gas lens and my dad got me 3M speed glass mask I can see, now even electricians can weld now lol

They are really nice welds. What's the benefit to the Pyrex glass lens and speed glass?

[Andy Sykes]

With my new mask I can actually see what's happening so that has helped me with the control, as for the Pyrex gas lens I don't understand exactly but it make the gas flow in a better way, I can do the same thing with a standard cup and it weld ok but no way near a good as if use the other they aren't cheep but they work for me

Cheers Andy

Lovely tig work going on. I managed to distort a v band flange quite easily while welding one a while back. I'm also reading that they need some sort of gasket either copper or fibre to make them seal 100% too. True?

[ianmac]

That's a serious wiring loom  good work 

[Andy Sykes]

The wiring and electronics should be the best bit as its my job

Air shifter testing I think I may need a spring return cylinder

[Andy Sykes]

Well a few months off due to working most days but I've managed to do a bit today

[spoolin70]

Any updates Andy ?

Just seen your for sale advert and wondered if your build is still progressing?

Or is the engine sale to make way for something bigger 

Thanks

Looks like you are parting this project out, sad to see it happen!  I also understand that priorities can change quickly and hope all is okay for you and those closest to you.
