Avions Voisin Record 1927 1/8


Recommended Posts

Thanks gentlemen, thanks my fans!

No Sam, just two 70 years old poor eyes, but two pairs of glasses...

 

 

Well, today fuel line and filters.

With that, we can consider the engine bay completed!

But before aluminum forming, I have  to correct the rear brakes mechanism. Fortunately, all is
removable...

Tomorrow will be another day.

 

Thanks for watching, Dan.

Thanks for watching, Dan.

Certainly a fan is an understatement.

Examples of this staggering accomplishment for me are the adel clamps holding the fuel line; they have the rubber bush within. The line also has a fuel shut-off petcock in line - all scratch made. You are out-doing yourself, to my great delight.

Having only one 70+ year old eye, I would gladly suffer your plight...:confused:

But you make the most of what you have...

PS - Pardon my ignorance Dan but the wires from what appears the coil on the firewall to the cover atop the head - should they just go into holes in the cover or should there not be some sort of grommet? And what do they attach to or control?

Thank you very much gentlemen!

Always much appreciated...

 

Codger, no grommet, and some explanation:

_1 Wealth carburetors

_2 Choke

_3 Trottle

Note that the N°1 give me some trouble... Fortunately, I could ask to the owner!

 

Thanks again guys!

Dan.

Great photo thank you Dan. But I was referring to the ignition wiring seen here, not the linkage through the firewall. It would appear that terminal ends would need to be added after the wires were inserted in the cover. Original or a modification during restoration?:

Well, today as expected rear brakes. Remember, no front brakes...

 

But before, rear side floor, and the first aluminum pieces of the patchwork.

Who said removable?

First body pieces, why? You will understand later. Choice of sequences are very important...

And as said on the first post, I reproduce a replica...

Batteries are there on the replica, on my model too!

You said battery? Old fashion for my "replica":
