Haven't updated in a while, but work is progressing slowly.

I've just about amassed all the parts I need to complete the build apart from brake lines and a chain.

I now have a boxed in cabin which I am skinning in 0.5mm aluminium. I've found that with such a thin metal its quite easy to get a nice radius on body panels by running the sheet over your legs back and forth like you are drying yourself with a towel. Sounds crazy but it works.

Also made a foam buck for a nosecone. Got it into shape over the weekend and laid down my first layers of glass and resin. By far the messiest thing I have ever done. I just used chopped mat for the fibreglass, but in hindsight i would use woven cloth for straight lines and simple curves whilst saving the chopped mat for the more intricate compound curves. Now time to sand, cut and recoat where necessary

It is with great pleasure the CCA would like to announce the first of many exciting events for the upcoming Spring and Summer Event season

front axle starting to take shape and more parts slowly starting to arrive.

Some slight design changes, there's a plethora of Austin based karts already, so have decided to base my design on the ERA Type-B. I will most likely model mine off chassis no.10, ERA R10B of Peter Whitehead who won the 9th Australian Grand Prix in this car at Bathurst in 1938.

Unfortunately yesterday was raining pretty hard so we spent some time drafting up the adaptors for the wheel hubs and cutting out some parts on the CNC plasma cutter, which kept us in the workshop. Two new skills unlocked lol. Unfortunately there just wasn't enough room to lay the chassis out inside so we decided to put that off until today.

The rain held off today so spent some time today getting the chassis welded up. We decided on the chassis width based on the width of the rear axle, my CK and the width of the front spring. It is 50mm wider than my CK. After we levelled up the trestles, Locke checked the chassis for square and tacked it up. We added some gussets to the front corners to help improve the strength, as there will be a lot of twisting force from the transverse front spring.

Also took some measurements for the front spring hanger ready for a trip to the steel shop tomorrow for supplies. We also need to procure the parts to make up the front beam and vertical links.
