Car updates
I started this project a little while ago and have now got a running car, it's a long way from perfect but it is all vintage. The Palmer Plastics 1/32nd scale Cooper Ford kit includes all the parts to make a slot car including driver tray, wheel inserts and a reversable rear chassis mounting that will fit either Revell or Riko rear screw points. The front mounting point is another matter and doesn't match up completely with any chassis although it is only slightly out for a Riko chassis. The Riko chassis has to be set to the shortest wheel base possible and the front mounting screw is at a slight angle, didn't want to move the post in case I find a better fitting chassis at some point. The mounting points are designed to take the fairly standard brass inserts but as I don't have any of these I decided to try the cotton wool and super glue trick and it seems to have worked very well. The track is quite narrow and I struggled to find a pair of axles to suit. The body still needs painting and detail adding but at least it is a runner.
