Hi Randy,

You give me a bright idea to make the joints in the tie-rod using heat shrink tubes. Do you make your own rubber boots?

Hi Randy

This is absolute fantastic!!!!
Sorry to repeat myself always!!! :lol: :lol: :D


I still think you should Display the brass work as it is (no painting) once all parts are made. And Show a "construction / rebuild process" as a Display to be able to see all the Details later.

Best regards,
Michael

Hello Michael, We will see about the paint :)

Martijn, Glad you like it !

Thanks Marlborored!


This car raced in the '69 Le Mans with a 'special' radiator. It was brass and copper instead of the usual ally one. It also had a small oil cooler up front.
