Spurred on by the sight of the competition cars at Prescott during the Centenary Rally, I have been putting in some work on the hillclimb car project and all being well it will be driveable some time next week. I have finally sorted out the throttle pedal arrangement, this being clamped to the steering column tube. The throttle cable is homemade using bicycle brake cable. For the ends I have used electrical connectors which are crimped onto the cable. 5mm stainless steel set srews and nylocs fasten the cable onto the pedal and carb. I am awaiting a box of assorted springs off Ebay to complete the set-up.
Today I gave the body a rub over with nylon scourers and white spirit. It will of course have a streamlined tail which will be detachable.
