More cabin bits . . . .
The pedal box including the master cylinders are all in the cabin.
This allowed most of the brake and clutch lines to be run
inside the cabin.
I installed twin hydrolic handbrakes, one per rear wheel.
To help with slow hair pin turns.
The idea is to try and load up (not lock up) the inside rear wheel with the hand brake to try and
pull the front of the car around the corner.
It works with tractors . . . . . .
Have not been game enough to try it in a race yet.
The Poly carbonate "Glass" is 3mm thick, the rear window
is installed with a standard rubber seal with no sealant
so it can be kicked out from inside the car if required.
The fuel tank, fuel pump and filter are installed inside a
sealed box where the passenger seat should be.
It's all about weight balance.
The steering wheel was bolted to the boss supplied with it, but the
horn button would not fit as the area inside the steering
wheel was not deep enough for the spring clips in the button.
I made a 6mm thick spacer to go between the boss and the wheel.
No the horn button does not work, but I like the look of it.
It completes the steering wheel.
The steering column is the original S2000 one modified to fit.
I kept the collapsible bit in the column just in case.
I used angle iron and exhaust clamps to mount the column.
I did not realise just how strong the mounting system needed to
be until I started making it.
The forces applied when the steering wheel is turned are huge . . .
