Morning all,
I now have 10 complete wheels ready to have their polyurethane tyres cast on, 10 oil seal housings and 10 end caps. I am currently machining the shafts that connect the radius arms to the wheels so hopefully by the end of the week I will have 10 finished radius arms as well.

Excellent work, a good thread to follow.
On the engine front, I would suggest keeping it as a petrol six cylinder (you could always run it on LPG if cost is a concern). How about a Jaguar XJ40 Engine and autobox, an entire car is dirt cheap from a scrap yard. After all your hard work making the machine look as close to an original as you have it would be sad to drop in a four cylinder diesel...as enticing as I know that is.

Nice idea but I rather like old mechanical type engines and I assume that this would be an injection, so it would require an emu/emc and then would that need some other electrical's etc or re-programing. Those little black boxes exasperate me. However were it a simple engine then it like it a lot. Maybe someone out there knows more than I. As for the auto box, I have only experienced pain with them.
