Eagle Weslake: Chassis progress II

The rate of progress has been in the molasses range as I am finding it hard to get motivated. Maybe it's time to put it aside for a while... first an update. 


Lordy but these bits are small! Hubs consist of two cast pieces, sandwiching discs made of two pieces of  photoetched sheet, and a cast caliper.


Plumbing is complete, including the pipes running under the monocoque, with the exception of a microscopic bit of pipe which no one will ever notice.


Front and rear suspensions are also complete, and the car sits square on its 4 wheels. 


Exhaust pipes will be the next challenge, with the pipe tie-down clamps being both minuscule and flimsy. 


Still it will be nice to see it taking its place on the podium next to the second-place BRM. 


Stay tuned! One way or another, I'll have something to report in the not too distant future.
