Somewhere a cross-channel ferry is missing a section of lower deck flooring

it is flooring jonny,rubber floor tiles from a job i did about 10 years ago.

i was refitting the tardis in 1985

i never noticed before but those rubber tiles were made by pirelli

jtf

servo time i think

time to test them and put them in a neutral position then a straight build














i would put more pics on but when i come to upload them it kicks me off,does anyone else have this problem?

If the size of your images are to large and I think it's only 8 pic'd per post.

cool thanks andy,im happy with puting 6 or 7 at a time on its no biggie,its when i go for 8 it boots me off :y

onto the next step after an epic upload fail










the fox steering is a thing of beauty i think,its unique in its own right,not everyones brew but i like it
but not the most stable steering set up ive seen i imagine it would break easily after a moderate knock in the right place,
the nova fox steering set up seems to be a lot more stable and secure,but as tamiya nut said re re's do lack pedigree
and some can be a lash up to fix old problems,either way i still prefer the old fox steering set up.just my humble opinion

onwards and upwards

fixing the msc to the servo,one word.WOW

a quick test again,when i tested it like this it picked up 3 speeds,however when it was assembled i only got one speed and that was flat out???






i was a bit worried at first because i thought i was missing the ally spacer so thought i had to make one,but i had a quick look see in my rubber parts bag and found this

speedo plate slightly bent,maybe thats why i cant get a consistent speed,im a bit stuck on this one maybe one of you kind fellows could shine a light












nearly done

its like workin in a bowl of spagghetti doing this little beauty,wires everywhere,i should have shares in maplin or something








all done,well that was an experiance,it looks great though,im very happy with the results

wot do you guys think so far?

That's with the resistors fitted in both cases? Because you seem to have "lost" them in the later photos

IIRC the GRP plate can be fitted either way up - if you fit it the other way up, the way it's bent with age will help with contact rather than hinder it
