| I had a brake pedal but because I have cable disc brake I had to stomp on it hard, so I put a brake handle instead and that works fantastically! Test drove it again and all sorted out next to detail it and finish off a couple of odds and ends looks like I’m going to make it on time, I was a little worried but it’s looking good

| It's looking great with the paint on! I like the hood scoop as well, pretty subtle but it looks just right. I always prefer brake handles for a manual brake setup, get more leverage that way.

| Today when I was driving the Speedster, I noticed that where the driven clutch is located the engine air cooling blows hot air on to the clutch, I notice because I had shorts on and my leg began to cook. So my thought is that the hot air blasting on to the clutch is another issue to solve, it may be causing the driven to get to hot upsetting the spring tension. I thought more about it and the gopower clutch set up with the plate would also be insulting the clutch from the heat. So this coming weekend I will make a heat shield to keep that area cooler. Lots to do but I have learned a lot over the build, the good thing is the next build I will be able to take inconsideration all the things I discovered and be able to do a build a lot quicker. The more you practice the better you get! The Speedster is a proto type build and has shown me it’s not easy and always expect the unexpected, from pen on paper too when you start building is very different. Thanks again to all. Cheers. | |
