awsome simply awsome

Oh my, that is amazing. You can never have too much carbon fibre!!

[benb_88]

I love the car so far..... Find myself flicking through a few project threads on here for inspiration and this is one i always come back too.
Love all the carbon think it would be great if you left it all as it is and not paint over it..

Anyway keep up the good work mate and keep us informed

[Joe250]

Excellent build! I'm impressed. Keep the photos coming and if you can, please show us how you end up mounting your pedals and steering column. I purchased a similar set of Tilton pedals and am still working out how best to mount mine.

[mike.]

nice...very nice. You car looked like mine before you started haha

Isn't carbon weezle in the US though? Its got to be costing a fair bit to get all the parts shipped over?

[ianpettifer]

WOW just WOW

[CharlieBrown]

Just seem this project and it is quite simply amazing!

Love the carbon and for some odd reason love the blue masking tape......


Carbon Weezel are UK based as far as I know.

[fatboy-rdt]

Stunning project providing plenty of inspiration for a future build I have in mind!!
Sure it will be spectacular once complete!!

[azzgranty]

Yes the Carbon Weezel is definitely in the UK, there based in the south.
Gotta love the blue tape, awesome stuff, you can get it wet and leave it on for months unlike masking tape which
disintegrates after 2 weeks.

Joe250 I put my pedals in last week, not an easy job ill admit. Good choice though, you've got exactly the same ones as me and there very solid.
May I ask how much you got them for in the end.
I fabricated some rails to bolt mine to, which bolt through the bulkhead of the car near where the old mini ones bolt in. I just used some
rolled steel tubing, steel plate and a welder. The hardest part was getting my dash to go round the master cylinders, there was lots of head
scratching, cutting and test fitting. Im not using the reservoirs that are in the pic, going to remotely mount them somewhere.

The steering column is mounted off of the rollcage dash rail by 2 rose joints, which allows a little adjustment up and down.
Here's a couple of pics, Im afraid ive only got a pic of the right pedal bracket, hope this helps.







Feel free to contact me if you need any more help.

Im currently fitting my exhaust and fabricating an accelerator pedal so will update with pics when ive made some progress.
Thanks for all your posts and comments.

Amazing!

Thats great work.

Where do you get all your metal from for those bars and i need that blue tape in my life

[kcchan]

Interesting steering column set up you've got there. Rose jointed for adjustablilty mounted onto the cage dashbar. Very simple but very clever!
Is it just a slightly modified mini one?

I like!

tool station sells the blue tape its cheap used to hold my bonnet down the other week after the pins died

[Joe250]

Thank you for the quick response along with the photos. I paid U.S. $215 for mine, without master cylinders. Picked it and a number of other parts from these guys:

Your mounts gives me some good ideas. Good luck with the rest of your build. I'm very jealous.
