This recap will be a few days late as I currently do not have any progress pictures. In the mean time here is a video:
Visible progress is starting to slow down as we are focusing more on finish work on the chassis. In order to get to the more trick areas to weld, we had to flip the chassis on it's side.  We also fitted in the quick jack bar, thus tackling one more rule from the rule book.  Last big update, we took our old oil and water catch cans and shortened them to the correct specification for a 250cc engine.  Reference object also included to give an idea of the new height.
We are pushing hard to get all the pieces of the chassis welded in place so that we can get the chassis painted. In the last week a number of tabs and hardware were added to the chassis, yet there is still a lot more to go.  Front A-arm tabs boxed in and front shock and bellcrank tabs fitted in place.  HVE enclosure welded and fitted in place.  Impact attenuator anti-intrusion plate fabricated and in place.  Radiator fitted, front detail.  Radiator, side/rear detail.  Exhaust system initial placement. | AuthorDiego Garcia, third year Mechanical/ Aerospace Engineering University of California, Davis ArchivesMay 2011 Categories |
