Well not much progress but its getting there, here is the suicide mount all finished and polished.
Perch is welded in at 10 degrees, 7 is the castor angle and the other 3 degrees is the cars rake.







I got one side of this joint perfect but *floop*ed the other up so decided to polish out the weld completely.







Here's some polished holes just for Brizey






The joining of the 2 halves is imminent so the joining plates were cut, they have been sized to snugly slide inside the box section and are secured by a bolt to pull everything together nicely and inline (this will be done on the jig) the bolt goes in the centre hole and the other 2 holes are for rosette welds then the bolts are removed and again rosette welded, then the joint is welded and polished out.







Polishing has vastly improved timewise due to my latest buy Its a 4HP 3 phase Pro polisher 2800 rpm that i'm running off a single phase to 3 phase digital convertor, its an amazing bit of kit that i reckon saves me 50% polishing time as its impossible to slow down and you can really lean on stuff.






My rad supplier in the states made me up a chopped radiator in ally, Looks like the grille shell needs a bit out of it










I will be losing the brackets from the sides as the rad will be mounted on some custom stainless brackets with the original Fords springs and bolts, in stainless of course
I will be welding some 10mm ally with tapped holes to the rad sides to take 2 bolts to hold the rad brackets.







Rad brackets (yet to be polished)
