MooSPEED IV - Build Diary

December 2002 - Part I

I've got a new handbrake now from Fishers - still very stiff but at least it's vaguely usable now. Luckily it won't take much to hold the lightweight car but SVA-man will submit it to the same test as a fat old Merc.

I've had to bend the Fisher-made bracket to stop it fouling the lower chassis bar, just hope there's enough clearance for the propshaft now. I'll also need to drill a new hole as the mounting point is about 2 cm's away from the original brake's mounts - nothing ever fits properly. For anyone thinking that building a car is like a big meccano set - forget it !!

No interesting pictures on mine just yet but here's some of a friend's car that he's just starting. Now that looks familiar...

He's obviously been bitten by the "bec" bug. Although I do have some reservations... he's been reading LAX-Power recently and wants to kit out his Busa-engine Fury with 17" rims , fat tyres , sub-woofers and bolt on spoilers - he'll be after flourescent tubes for underneath soon

Obviously a man of good taste, he's gone for a chassis in tango colour - take note of the additional side bars and welded in rollbar, bit different from the norm...
