I
spent the evening sorting out a few small jobs.
First job was moving the brake pressure switch that I mounted upside
down some months ago. The reason for
this was I read on Locostbuilders that air could get trapped which will make
the brakes feel spongy. I drilled out
the rivets holding the bracket and moved it about 50mm above the old
position. The brake lines were bent
slightly to fit to the new position and the bracket was refixed with rivets.
Next
job was fixing some cable tie bases to the bulkhead. At the weekend I stuck a few on with sikaflex
but this didn’t hold as I was able to peel them off tonight quite easily so I
decided to rivet them with some 2.5 x 12mm rivets. These cable tie bases are so I can fix tie
the cables to the brake fluid and brake pressure sensor securely out the way.
Another
job was to fix some aluminium angle to the back of the seat area which will
give the rear interior panel something to fix to along the outer edge. I fixed these with 3 rivets each.
Final
job was cut some infill pieces for the recess in the gear lever for decorative
purposes. I made a masking tape template
of the area and cut out 2no pieces of Carbon GRP (from the piece I cut out of
the dash for the clocks). Not sure if I mentioned it before but some
weeks ago I filed and sanded the MK gear lever to try and reduce all edges to a
2.5mm radius for the IVA.
Carbon infill pieces complete.
