After a week at the F1GP in Melbourne, and Easter Festivities, I managed to get a little bit more progress on this project:
The stack of aluminium bits and pieces are now welded together and the visible external welds have been ground back ready for the powder coating, including all external edges which have been rounded over by draw-filing and sanding.
The mirror support sling linear bearings are installed on M10x110 s/s cap screws and the MoonLite truss clamps are installed (only one bolt each until their exact angle is known).
The 18pt cell is yet to be dismantled fully for some TLC on the buffer and new glide pads are yet to be installed....
Next project is the UTA which will be traditional design but with carbon struts and kevlar baffle....
