Well the project continues sloooooooooooowly
I bought a piece of polycarbonate for the windscreen,copied the template I had made,and it didn't fit
Scratched what is left of the grey matter,kicked my arse and tried to figure out where the hell I went wrong.Still wondering.
So I built a frame of the windscreen area,used some hardboard to wrap around it,three pieces in all,marked where they intersected and stapled them together.
When I laid the template out and put the other on top I was 700mm out.And I haven't gotten around to redoing it yet.
Next I filled the bow with areoboard,not the sheets,but a tight beaded block,100mmx100mm that is used as pallets for wall insulation bales and it doesn't seen to absorb water,glassed them in and fitted the fuel tank.All I'll say is the working in a tight space with fiberglass is not the most pleasant of pastimes.
Made some alterations to fuel tank 'cause the fill was to one side,losing about ten litre capacity, and drain on the bottom,moved it to the side.
Strapped it in and earthed it.There was no pickup or place to fit one,so it had to be cut,s/s is a pain to cut a hole in even with the proper hole cutter.
The dash panel I have has no opening for a speedo,so I made one out of a piece of mahogany.I fitted the gauges,well,I have them,so I thought "I might as well."I have fitted a temperature sender and need to drill a hole in the pan for the water pressure tube,haven't decided yet whether to tee into the tell tale or fit an elbow at the top of the water jacket.Any thoughts,opinions and advice appreciated.
The amp meter is just a glorified connector for the live from the battery to the fuse busbar.
And to crown the lot I accidentally wiped about twenty pics of the wee bit I got done,well named this boat
