The front and rear roll bars for Projectile have come back from Marcus our friendly TIG welder and they are fantastic!!
 |
| Cleaned up a treat with some wire wool! |
 |
| Lovely welding!!! |
 |
| Rear triangulation anchor to chassis floor. |
 |
| Front roll bar in situ. |
In case you were wondering the rear roll bar is actually reclaimed climbing bars from when the school gym was refitted!!!
In the meanwhile, Mr. Raymond got busy with our 3D printer, printing out a NACA duct which hopefiully provide a low drag airflow over the motor.
 |
| Halfway through... |
 |
| The finished Duct |
The wooden battery box with its bathroom bolt locks is now done.....
 |
| Easy and neat! |
And this evening the year 9's made some excellent progress on the rear axle mounting brackets for their car Plume Power....
 |
difficult to see, but carefully made triangulated
brackets will be bonded to the chassis tub. The axle brackets will bolt through. |
A decision was made to locate the batteries inside the cabin, under the seat....
 |
| nicely hidden and still able to easily house a 6' driver! |
Only 3 weeks to go before our first race, so the pressure is well and truly on to finish Projectile in time (thankfully Power is not racing until September...)
