Gearing up !!

At last I have my gearbox and diff back!

So next job was to fit the diff and prop.

Down under...

At this point I turned It over and riveted the underside.. and received a hernia for the trouble...

Go kart...

Now we have a kit that now resembles a go kart.

And If I might add I'm quite pleased with myself..

Front Suspension

Fit the front wishbones and components.

The top wishbones are tight but they do fit If fitted at the rear first and then pulled forwawd Into the front mount.

Once It's all together It should look something like this...

Remember to leave the bolts loose till It's on the ground. I have test fitted the steering rack to see how well It fits.

Rear Suspension

Fit the rear wishbones, Shock and back plate with the spacers provided.

As I am still waiting for the diff and gearbox to get back to me I have tried to do other jobs to keep myself busy, that's why there is no diff or drive shafts fitted.

Remember to drill a hole In the hub carrier for the bottom shoe retaining pin.

Make a wish! or 8

Now for the worst job I have done on this kit....

Fit the bushes and sleeves into the wishbones without damaging yourself or your equipment.

I broke my vice twice and now It's going to the bin (age 6 weeks).

Sorry for not having the pics of the bushes going In but my camera was missing the day I built them..

Outer panels

Now that I have the Footwell, tunnel and rear panels fitted the next job was to fit the outer side panels.

Note: Look after the drill bits, make sure you have plenty and most of all If they snap try not to hit the panels (as I did twice) BUGGER!!
