MooSPEED IV - Build Diary

September 2002

Bits completed this month;

Front suspension built up.
Fuel tank in.
Brakes plumbed in.
Fitting of F1 sidecar sump baffle plate.

Suspension rocker arms - note the inboard shocks and lever action of the rockers. In theory a better design than that on the Lotus 7 type cars. On my Westfield as the wheel gets higher under suspension loads the angle of the spring gets more horizontal whereas this should be more linear.

Did I sound like I know what I'm talking about ? I can assure you that I don't. I think it looks pretty racy anyway.

Suspension rocker arms again - they'll level out when the car is supporting it's own weight.

Inboard springs

Oil pickups, etc. These are the bits I had to take out to fit the sump baffle. Have to keep everything really clean. Tricky in my messy pit.

Lovely clean engine internals - like new !

AllBikes sump baffle in place - this is really just a piece of trimmed tin but it'd take quite a while to get it right and AllBikes have a proven record so happy to spend the money on this. Certainly masses cheaper than a dry sump kit that is essential on some bike engined cars.

AllBikes sump baffle - a closer look

See - attracting topless blondes already !!
Phwoooarrr - attracting topless blondes already !! These cars can definitely pull [best not show the wife this page].

Note the bike in the background, this needs to be sold as the Fury is supposed to be the bike replacement now I'm all grown up and sensible (yeah right), its also right in the way and I need the money to finish the car.
