fitted the new nozel tip in the mig , then finished welding the new tow plate and welded a patch on a hole on the Xmember/chassis join.
just got a couple of small patches left to do should have it all rapped up tomorrow :rolleyes:
 
Had myself a productive day. Managed to make a dash with a starter button and some warning lights!!





Also made a start on a battery mount to hold my battery box as low in the rear tub as possible to keep the weight as low as poss.

Run out of metal to stick together so I left it half welded up awaiting some 3 x 50 mm angle to complete.




Started on mounting the cut out switch which sounds alot easier than it is! It must be located somwhere easy to reach by the driver when held back in your harnesses, when inverted on its side or any other interesting position. It must be a nice run for the Main battery and ign cables. It must be situated so I can run 2 bowden cables from either side of the motor to comply with regs incase for any reason the driver cannot cut the engine a marshall or official can get to either of the sides to kill the engine and electrics.

So proigress was made today which is good.
 
finished off the chassis welding and gave all the new bits of metal a coat of paint.
and stuck the lz stickers on it :D
 
took the front propshaft off, well I say took, it was more of a case of the rear half fell off as I was driving home from work, so I had to take the rest of it off, now got to buy and fit another one before this weekend as I'm supposed to be going to Wales on Thurs :(
