The casing cleaned back and the new Ultrabell trial fitted, all was looking good. Unfortunately the loctite and torque wrench are in the truck and the locker doors are frozen to their seals, I'll try and thaw them out tomorrow
When you get the doors open, spray the seals with some silicon lubriant  I assumed you were referring to this  Must learn to type with two fingers. |

glad to see you've been amusing yourselves, I've been fighting motivational issues with this for a week or two, back on it now though.
Gearbox all bolted and tight, everything fitted as it should, so that's good. Battery moved from below the axle to it's new mounting cradle and new electrics tray finished, painted and installed, had to slice the side off of one of the bolt heads to get the steering linkage past, no wasted space here ! 3mm rubber lining bonded into battery cradle and then ripped out and replaced with 1mm so that the battery would actually go in, properly snug. Ignition system bolted to tray , all new wiring, much shorter runs and everything now earthed directly to the battery. I moved the fuel pump and ignition switches down to the tray as I had managed to snag them with my fire suit and turn them off at least once and we only really use them when testing stuff.

I stripped the parachute pack and added a stiffening plate in the back of it to prevent the fabric being pulled against the mounting bolts and then repacked it, that's a skill still to be learned. I did some work on the rear body section, added a couple of lower front mounts to help keep it held in tight to the tin work and then added a relief around the master switch, just a bit more tidy and easier to get to

Minutes later, while testing the connections ready to fire it up tomorrow, the master switch failed. No drama , flashes or bangs, just stopped working ! Bloody brilliant, none of the others I have will fit the mounting plate and I have just repainted the chassis and cut the body ! time to go home and consider it.

I resisted the temptation and bought another switch ! I still couldn't quite force myself to pay nearly sixty quid for a metal handled one so plastic it was. Next job, put a metal handle on it.

I had some of the "good" aluminium left from the motor plate on the altered ( the other new car ! ) so, with a bit of careful marking out and some fine filing and a shed load of M4 holes tapped we have something that will work and allow the fitment of a remote cable device at a future date.
Hopefully fit it all up tomorrow and test it through, top the transmission up and fire it at the weekend, we'll see.
