Week 44 - The Build

This week it's been more work on the interior. The cockpit sole is supplied as a single piece of grp. 

 


Can't think how this is supposed to go in as a single piece - too big for me anyway! Easy solution is to cut it in half!


It can always be glassed back together if required. Here they bits are in a trial fit.


 Still a few bits to be done before final fitting, including making a shield around the steering column down by the pedals. 

Here you can see how close to the pedals is the joint where the column joins the rack! It's almost possible to steer with a foot or even jam a shoe in there.

I'm hoping to make a glassfibre shield but need to improve my template making skills while lying upside down in the dark.
