Hi Guys.   Must confess I haven’t been following the action too closely, but I don’t think there’s been too much?
Julie is telling me to part with the kart. I was intending to make one more visit, just to see if all changes were ok, but the virus has really cramped our style big time.
The kart has been laid up now for over a year, on its trailer, on the drive. I have bought a poly tunnel, so it’s been well protected.
I think £750 would be a good price. I know it’s had a somewhat chequered career (!) but I believe it’s now sorted-an additional cable operated hand brake. The bodywork has been altered to provide a degree of protection to shoulders as well.
I can bring it to the next meeting if anyone’s interested. Dave.

Finished off the ck today and pulled it out of the garage to make way for the next job...renewing the deck varnish on my sailing dinghy.
I’d like to bring it down to Stretton but it’s getting too busy?
Some pics enclosed.
If anyone wants to buy it...it’s for sale.

I’m going to stick some aluminium on for a dashboard. How do you make those turned swirls?
Is it called engine turning?

I discovered during the lath work that the lathes would only follow two dimensions. In order to follow a compound curve I wonder if using say 10mm x 10mm lathes would allow the wood to bend in any direction?

Don’t forget that using a balance bar will halve the foot pressure to each master cylinder.

Forgot to add the pic!

This is the new boot lid shape.
