Ok, it’s been a month+ since I last posted, but I have been busy and haven’t had a chance to do much with the car.
One exciting thing though is that the Torque Trends TorqueBox 3:1 reduction box is here and it is beautiful!
I also start designing brackets for the Volvo-based power steering pump. I really wanted to put an electric motor-based rack assist off a Kia, but it just won’t fit with how tight things are both under the dash and to the rack, so this is the next best thing. Making the brackets out of 3d prints first to make sure everything fits up, then will make them out of metal.
Lastly I’m working on revision 4 of the turn signal controller board. Rev. 1-3 did not work out so well. Hopeful I have it right this time!
