So I can’t believe it’s been a month since I’ve posted, but I have done work throughout January.
Two quick updates – the backseat area is finished and new LED retrofit lights made and installed!
Next item to tackle is power brakes. I’m using a Bosch iBooster 2 from a Tesla model Y – – – and it doesn’t clear the wheel well. So, I need to mount it 90 degrees and make a pivot box. Sounds simple, and it probably is, but for me it has been a head scratcher. Slowly getting it and making it out of metal, after multiple 3D printed trial. I 3D print the test parts and then once I know it’s good, I replicate it from steel/aluminum as needed.
Then after all this, I still had tolerances too close and had to make a spacer plate for the pedal box to the firewall – which is a real joy to bolt up.
Then this past weekend I machined out the extension for the booster pushrod; converting the M8-1.25 to 3/8-25 since everything else is UNC.
Hopefully I’ll make more posts throughout February, I need to get back to my every weekend habit… Until next time.
