Here in Sweden we have an old auto-profile that we call "Bosse Bildoktorn".
The translation is "Bosse the car-doctor" :)
He has his own radioshow that people call and get help fixing their cars...

Here he is with my "shaft" ;)

Go the Boss holding your shaft :117:

Once again it doesn't surprise me you made yet another homemade part.
I wonder what your going to do about the center plate gears.
But I'm sure you'll come up with something. :)

It rolls on! Have got so far that I could push the cage down from the boxes and start welding.
We have a total chaos in the garage right now, it use to be pretty crowded, but now it's extremely ...
We've only 100m2 to share :)

Started with one side, it took a terrible time because I was terrified to grind too much every time. Think I lift up that pipe in place hundreds of times.

Pipe number two took 10minuter :)
Suspect everyone is doing like this, but I simply took two paper and rolled around the ends of the finished tube. Templated by, measured the distance between the papers on the tube, and made sure the seams were aligned with each other.
Then I took off the paper, and turned inside out on the next tube. Mirror: D
Again, it was I who was a coward, leaving a few millimeters on the first try, but then I put on like a glove!

Here is a view through the speaker hole. The passenger side rear view.

Welding!
It was at the famous, that it was possible to bring down the cage when it is so tight everywhere.
Had to break away mounts to the dashboard.

Better a careful coward rather than having to call yourself a stupid idiot as you tear it all out and do it again. :)

Have welded all of the cage so far, and did also the rear axle today.

Some stainless flanges for the exhaust done by a friend with waterjet/aquajet.
But they are about to get stuck in the CNC before they are done :)

Sounds like you need a Life Racing ECU to control this 4 rotor beast. Your engine and fab effort deserves a professional racing ECU.
I will be happy to help you out ;)

Much better than motec, and cheaper, with zero rape policy for codes etc :rofl:

Done with port matching and a little offset just to put the pipe into steady when welding.

That thing looks amazing, to bad you wont be able to show it off once its on the engine.
