Car updates
More work done on the Ferrari 156 and Lotus 25 today.
Pendle's say that you can use an axle stopper on the front axle to prevent movement and a small stopper does indeed fit but you need to chamfer the front of the front body mounting screw hole moulding and then when you fit the chassis to the body the body post is in the way so instead I have used NSR brass axle spacers on both cars with thin larger diameter steel spacers to protect the chassis and wheels from wear. The rear axle on the Ferrari chassis needed cutting down as the Policar chassis is designed for later F1 car with a wider track and this has now been done. I have also added a rear mounting post to the Ferrari body.
Both chassis are now mounted to the bodies and I need to add a rear body post to the Lotus and then paint the body, I will probably do the #4 Jim Clark car from the 1963 British GP but at the moment it's way to hot to even think about painting the body.
