Projects Belly Tank Build, NZ.

Looking like good progress JW!

 

Thanks Wade, will be doing my entry for Land Speed NZ this week, its all go i hope! Going to use the RPU as push/tow car. Also going to order the front tires this week, 185/70 r16 motor cycle items.....not cheap! JW

 

Good luck mate. I had considered using m/c tyres on the roadster. Are the beads on the tyres the same?

 

I believe so, they are tubeless although the cornering characteristics of a motor cycle and a four wheeler are very different. If the Belly Tank gets into any load bearing cornering i'm in deep shit so they will work fine. JW

 

Entry all done, now got to get the car all done. JW

 

Looking forward for your progress.
I guess you know what to do the nearest future.

 

Should get the front tires this week and remembered i hadn't cleaned up the front wheels after getting the new hoops welded on (thanks Todd for the tidy job) and paint them black. JW

 

First coat of black zinc. I used this on the axles, radius rods and all the black bits on the RPU. JW

 

Painted all the steel parts on the front hinge and assembled for good and fitted a block to mount a a gas strut on. JW

 

Sharp!
