I've been mainly working on the frame today, adding some structural support, fixing mistakes.
A couple of things have changed since my last post: added an X shaped section in the back for rigidity and a bent tube above the engine bay to support the engine cover and, possibly, the exhaust muffler.
Small modifications have been done to the suspension as well, such as added structural support for the camber angle adjuster of the rear-top wishbone and some modifications for the rear uprights (the damper is no longer mounted on the top of it, so the extensions are no longer needed. See this post for comparison)
The front of the suspension is still missing some of the main ingredients, such as Cortina spindles, brake disks, spacers between the upright and the cycle wing stay, ball bearings and callipers.
Had and still having some problems with the rollbar. I know that it should have some diagonal support tubes, but I really don't want them, because I'll be having difficulties taking off and putting on the engine cover.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll start working on the steering column. I've done it once already, but my machine was too slow to keep up with 2 universal joints and some gears, so I had to remove it completely.
