Brandy Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hang on for a little while Rob. I'm hoping to talk to a friend who's done 3d design and see if I can make the 6 shocks on one sprue to reduce the costs. I can't do it myself as my trial of Rhino has expired.

Rob G Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Roger wilco Ian, will do. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouln Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 They do look very nice but indeed cost a lot. Be interested to hear if you have them 3D printed together on one sprue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have the new file to download. Should be up in a day of so! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Ian they look spectacular in that hi-res frost material. I don't think $7.75 per is exorbitant. But I'm used to crazy Pocher aftermarket prices..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 OK, the new file is uploaded and the shocks are now available as a 6 item set at around half the price of buying 6 separately! https://www.shapeways.com/shops/ibdetails I hope you like them!

Jnkm13 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hi Ian, I have put in an order. Thanks for making this set available. Much appreciated. Regards, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Ian, thank you for the efforts. As before, I'll order a set when I'm back home (I'm 300km from home at work, and while I do have an internet connection, it's not the best...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnkm13 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Ian, I placed and order, but Shapeways responded by saying the design can't be printed. Perhaps you wanna double check with them on this. Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Thanks i will do. I had the single item printed with no problems so I don't see why 6 should not work! Ia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 Jeremy, I believe there was a problem with the file for some reason, not sure quite why as it checked out ok when a friend took a look at it! Anyway, it should now be fixed and ready to go. Please let me know if you have any further issues! Thanks for your patience! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) Sharknose...thanks, and yes, I believe all the parts are still there! You can order the shocks via my Shapeways shop, the link is a few posts above this one (post no. 231). The problems should be taken care of now but if you have any issues let me know and I'll get them fixed!Ian Edited March 5, 2016 by limeypilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lespaul Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hi Bud,nice build, Did you ever find out the routing of the fuel lines from the tank? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 No, unfortunately not. I even emailed the Bentley Drivers' Club and have had no luck....I'm an ex BDC member, having marshalled for them at their Silverstone race meets for a few years. So much for repaying a favour....I'll just have to guess it.... Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnkm13 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi Ian, I received the shocks. Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for making them available. By the way, not sure if i missed out on your posting, but which green did you use? Regards, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouln Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Ordered them today. Good to hear that you like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks Jeremy and Poul! The green is Tamiya x-5 (23ml pot) with 1.25ml (1/4 tsp) of black added (yes, I used a food measuring spoon, good job I'm not married!) It could probably be a little darker in truth, but I'll stick with it now. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouln Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Hi Ian, Been away for a few days, but when I came back, the shock were her. Looking real good. Thanks very much for your efforts to create and share it. Edited April 4, 2016 by Pouln 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 You're welcome! It was fun making them, I learned a lot, and it just made sense to make them available. One of these days I'll get back on to this build.... Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzulscha Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) I have the wreckage of one of these I built as a kid (many many moons ago), as well as one I picked up about 10 years ago but I have put off building it because I wanted to lace the wheels. Your work on the wheels is inspirational I must say. Now I have to squeeze out some time for my own projects. In the mean time a little conceptual modeling is taking place in my tiny squalid little brain... It helps me sleep at night.

Jnkm13 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hi Ian, On your post #57 Page 3, the picture where the cut of front area of the floor joint to the firewall, there are 3 holes in the front floor area. The left and right holes are for the clutch and break pedals. What would the center pedal be for? It is represented as a much taller pedal on the kit, but do you know what it connects to? None of the pictures i have show what this pedal connects to. Thanks, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Hi Jeremy, The centre hole is for the throttle pedal. See post 163 for the front side pic of how it is mounted. It will have a long rod attached to it leading forward to the linkages for the carbs etc. Ian Edited June 22, 2016 by limeypilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
