Hi Trevor,

They're originally silence blocks, the are used to mount an motor on an platform or in a truck. The ones that are used for the original mid-mounts have an diameter of 50 mm and an height of 45mm.

Maybe for you, because you don't want to use an noserubber (if i understand right), you better could machine some urethane bushings with that length and diameter.

Greetings Wiebrand

Nice brace :agree:

So I can make an new bracket for my hydraulic handbrake (which I'm also gonna make my own)

Wiebrand

Everything is in raw measurments and will be made on the right size when needed.

Wiebrand

hey racelook, what kind of ends are those on your brace? curious, because my dad and i have been trying to build a brace similar to yours only we were going to use balljoints.. and those aren't cheap so i was curious as to what kinda ends those were.

In dutch the are named as; gaffel M10

There only available in right tread, so left tread has to be machined in them.

Wiebrand.. the are alsmost 7 euro each (in Holland)

There's another update.

Today I brought the camera with me so I could make some pics of the little progress I maked the last 2 days (I'm now closing an verry verry bussy period with school, so my spare time finally can be used for my bug)
Sorry for the green pics but this is our "Turtle-camera" (after an fall).

Yesterday I had welded some metal plates (hooks) for the front controlarmsbrackets that will give some mores strenght. Tomorrow there also be welded some of that plates on the top of that brackets.

Today I was looking for an aluminium "crash-plate" for the underside of my chassishead (so something of the car stays complete when I hit an traffic-humb). But this costed 3 euro/kilo at the "old stealman" so I have to find antoher solution for that.

Yesterday evening the gearbox was stoomcleand. This is the result.

Yesterday also welded the hydraulic handbrake-bracket together. And luckily everything works also :wink: (everything except the HRC is handmade). Also an wooden mold made for the handbrake-lever. For this handbrake several things were made tonight and will be completed in the next couple of days. The handbrake is for 60% ready.

Today I only maked some plates for the front control arms. SO it was not an quite productive day, but I soon have more spare-time.

Wiebrand

So this morning (before I had my diploma-delivitration) welded some more metal plates to the front controlarm-brackets.
