We had a pretty big to-do list this week, and managed to check a few things off in the "done" column. Since we sold the dash, pod and instrument cluster to help balance out the Lemons budget - we needed to fabricate the cockpit for our P(OS)51 Mustang fighter.
Rodrigo manages to get a gauge to stay in a hole that was cut too large. |
And you can see we found a brace sourced from a shop broom makes the perfect bracket to hold our power kill-switch in an ideal location for both driver and track worker.
Since this race is going to be run mostly in the dark - it's crucial that we keep headlights functional. We expect a lot of loose items will be bouncing around the race track, so Matt is fitting some .25" plexiglass covers to protect the fragile lamps.
We're going to run two sets of standard beam headlights. If the first set dies, flip a switch - and we turn on the second set. We'll also have one more set for backup - placement TBD.
