Driveshafts are cut and welded for now, (and Jims will be) ill be replacing mine once i get a job

[Pandora]

Metal came today, so we've made a start on the engine mounts, should be mounting them tomorrow and then taking out engine to weld up frame!

[ed4ran]

We have pretty much got the mounts mocked up, but we changed the rubber mounts we originally intended to use for bobbin style ones.
So we made wood ones temporarily, rubber ones should turn up tomorrow, along with some other bits.

wow u guys really know your welding! i know its only simple stuff once you've tried it a few times but stil hat off for doin those first few times!

[Pandora]

Im doing some bits of tacking but ed has more experience than i do at it. As you may have seen in Olive? lol so im just learning at the mo.

So thats the final design? I cant help but think thats a nasty angle for the bar that goes round the sump. Are you putting some brace bars in to share the load in case of a front end impact??

[Pandora]

Yes we will be putting brace bars on. We are trying to get hold of smudger for a front end but, we've had no reply as yet, so we are going to have to wait for that, before we can place them. Ed knows more about it lol. So we shall see.
