That's the first batch finished.

The first ten are done. Not a bad nights work.

The chain guard is coming on too.  Now, do we vacuum form it, or build up out of Carbon Fibre???  Let's check the budget........

Work done tonight

Well, two jobs progressing tonight. The first brass battery contact has been turned on the CNC lathe. Now we just need another 19 more!
The pit board got its first a coat of paint as well.

Fitting the roll bar.

Today saw me and the other guys fit the roll bar. This was quite easy but we had to shorten it slightly before bolting it in. This is an important safety feature so we used self locking nuts.

Handle bars and sub-frame

Today we have been fitting the handle bars and the rear sub-frame on the car.

Geoff.

Finished lightening.

Students finally finished milling slots on all four sides of the heavy steering sub assembly. Amazingly it came out at exactly 1kg. A saving of over 300g. Next job. Paint!!

Reducing the weight.

Milling out some of the steel in the front axle to reduce the mass.
