Moving on…
The cooling system is finished! We’ve finally connected the pipes that run through the cab to the radiator. All the appropriate pictures can be seen by clicking here (I’ll add some more next week).
The water pipes underneath the car. The radiator is directly above them.
The brake lines are finished too, and the brakes are bled and working. Here are all the brake pipe photos.
Here you can see the (nearly) finished rear axle. Note brake pipes.
Also, we’ve got the driver’s seat in! This was a bit of a game as we decided not to use the supplied Tomcat seats, so the mounting points were in the wrong place. So we made up a bracket for the seat runners and bolted it in. We attached the shoulder harnesses directly to the rollcage behind the seat, and the side straps to the rear bolting point for the seat. We’ll find somewhere to attach the last belt next weekend.

Then we lifted the front up on the ramp, for no real reason.
Whee!
