Hi Steve a good start for an impressive project. Looking at your fixture for chassis/frame making l am missing the jigs for the important brackets like rear upper damper fixation. Are they still under construction ? I see all the jigs to guide the tubes, but no jigs for the main suspension or engine mounting points.
Yes Steve, I have had shock absorber in my mind. It is really a long time ago, when I have welded my last tubular frame for a real race car, but I remember very well, that I have first made all the fixtures for the suspension pick up points and engine and gearbox fixation. Later than some jigs for special tube guiding. But I am only remembering here some good old times. I am sure you will show us here an excellent piece of craft manship in the near future. I will following along.
Steve glad to see you on another great project. That should be an awesome built and I will be following along. I have a question about the Mini Bike and I must of some how missed the completion. This is the last I seen of it http://www.modelenginemaker.com/index.php?topic=1069.msg32715#msg32715Has it been finished completely? I would be grateful just to see a photo of it. Don

Model Engineer Mag recently had about a 3 part article on how to make moulds and cast your own rubber tyres if you want to try the DIY route.
