New 2.8 RSR Evocation

[tof2.7]

Well after Saturday brightened up on the traditional "Braderie" of Lille, or I found that for 1.50 €uro for one, reproductions but in sheet steel and for the decoration of the garage it is always nice...



Thus on Sunday we attack again,

While my "Helpboy" takes care of the cleaning of the racing cars of his collection (already in his age that promises !!)



I begin the adjustment of the right fender.

Thus fixed time that presents much better,

The line of wing is first-class...



The top is clean (with the joint rubber)



And after one hour and a half, quite slowly in the grater, the indicator returns very well in his place, and the fixations are made, stays a little job on the bar the top goes, but the bottom is returning at left.



Concerning the hood I found the problem, it's too high once gone up because three embossment in front come to stumble over the crossbar of type G, it's going to need to plane them.......

[tof2.7]

Then yesterday I continued the work

Side adjustment : impossible to align the bottom of the hood with wings the top went but not the bottom.

In fact by firing the metal sheet in form like a " U" welded on the top of the crossbar of G type we win the 0.8 centimeters necessities to make nice fall to the hood.



And i can see that down that deserves one voucher treatment, it is only some rust of surface.



And of the blow the hood falls much better



but it was a day bad adventure in one side , it is this been able to the bi*** of cover with oil which runs away.

I started Froggy's just to warm up to her pistons and I let it run ten minutes, then I took care of the hood and half an hour later I cross behind and the horror a big oily mark on the pavement!!

Having absorbed the max with some sand



And that to piss another net during 1 good hour



It seems to come in the bottom, side wheel, to the junction with the sheet(leaf) of wire netting which is above welded.

Thus following stage drains away and dismantling of the cover

I am going to drain away only the cover and I shall drain away the rest in the reassembly of the cover with oil and filter new.

Well otherwise the sound in slow motion:




And with a little juices:

[giovanni86]

So, does this mean you are planning a Cup Car motor for the future?

[tof2.7]

Flieger, i want to work on my mmotor and just win some HP (200/220) because in France you must have you original motor so if you cahnge it and if you have an accident you lose your insurance. And because uin don't want to make race with just road trip.

Well then this cover:

Dismantling and cleaning of peripherals



Of the cover



And under the big coat of mud and oil mixed



Holes .......................

On the other hand always impossible to transfer the piece of remaining radiator hose and the stiff radiator hose behind is not thus held it is warm to undo!!



Otherwise I attacked my cheek of wing, the protection leaves to the spatula



It is long but we arrive there the not galvanized sheet steel (model 74) is very clean...



Of the front side some rust but surface thus nothing grave.



The next stage stop removing the proctection, the ground layer and new blackson.

[tof2.7]

As every evening of the week scratching of the inside of back fender, it is long.....

During this time I take advantage for ultrasonic all which can be it in the great grease remover.

As the capacity of the cover which went out black and thickens!!!



It is going to stay with quite corks etc....



First of all passage at JF for the repair of the cover

Information " monster garage ":

The cover is good in sheet steel, my error comes because mine in summer completely covered with a brass coat, while generally only the endings are covered with it

The hole



Rule of the welder: to eliminate a small hole ...... make a big



Put a magnet to hold the piece the level



the welding



Test of waterproofness of the weld in the liquid of cleaning of brake very flowing in .......... so OK

Grinding



And weld of an end of wire netting as originally



This wire netting allows to prevent stones thrown by the wheel to come to strike directly the cover.

After that the JF part is thus ended ...... a little beer.

Back home I attacked by:

Scratching, cleaning and degreasing the beast.



Two good coats to outdo rust inhibitor

[tof2.7]

Three rust-proofing coat of paint "Hammerite"



And finish in the "belgom alu" and the fine paper of peripherals ......



Otherwise between coats of paint I stopped preparing my back fender and especially I am got through my contrary nut of radiator hose.

Even by warming impossible to undo it ...... and the car being on candles I could not use of arm of control lever thus too much mattering desperate diseases require desperate remedies ......



That ............... it is made.

[tof2.7]

I took too much delay, I have to move thus I am going to try to make a little work everything in evenings.

Yesterday as a result, at the end of the cover.



And put in primer of the inside of back fender.

[tof2.7]

Yesterday evening passage of seal body with rubber and resin, spent in the brush on the joint between the wing and the welded extension.

I took advantage of it to put back it to places or there was before I clean everything, all the junctions between sheet steels and each point of weld

The product:



Applied it gives that:



I would take a photo this evening in full light because yesterday evening I finished at 9 pm and more enough luminosity for a photo.

The next stage anti-bits of gravel on base rubber ...........

[tof2.7]

Well so a small photo of the joint composed teroson.



And then passage of the anti bit of gravel (not asphalt but complex one base of synthetic resin and rubber), it is a delight to be crossed but as very black sheen difficult to photograph in the garage the evening .......



More than two coats of " hammerite " black matt as front and this side will be made.

[tof2.7]

The suite

After the second coat of "Hammerite", I went back up the Oil Cover.



Then draining of the crankcase and dismantling of the access to the caul of the pump.



After cleaning and with the new joints (for the anecdote the car arrived from states in 2008 with these two joints in his gloves box)



On the other hand concerns on the side crankcase one of the thread stalks was equipped with a "hélicoil" but which exceeded by the crankcase and thus which during the loosening it is removed.

The side crankcase (you will notice that an end of the pipe of the pump and the snatch)



The stalk and his "hélicoil"



Well as the tapping and already made it is just necessary to me to put a new "hélicoil".

Thus while waiting for I was made a little body.

Corking of both holes of the badge on the hood.



I ventured on the fiber, the first one for me ........ and not really a success. On the other hand I understood full of thing, thus it is going to need well to sand all this to restart a healthy base for following both passes.



And at the beginning of the sanding of the second-hand parts to redo everything for new.

The ducktail which had an inside raw concrete and slopped in black.



Well we keep the rythm and the morale ...........

[tof2.7]

Then the news of this crankcase magnesium of S....

The system of type "intervis" "home-made", one saw M8 drilled in its center and re-drilled in M6. (Has left on the photo.)




Above all a blow of tap in the hole.



And we go back up the whole with dough joined.....

And there big hatred, by squeezing slowly I have two other gudgeons which turn "around", thus Dismantling some dough closed everywhere on fingers and we have to redo two news "intervis" ......

[tof2.7]

I made my 4 new intervis DIY



Made assembly and put in oil, more three jar down ...... in the case or.......

Before sleeping me towards midnight, nothing no drop and this morning the same

Next satge during the ignition and during the the mount in temp according to the open of the circuit of oil
