MNR Vortx Kit car build site - Gear linkage and prop shaft

Gear linkage and prop shaft

After a couple of weeks of breaking everything and taking stuff apart, I actually made some progress today.
I've rebuilt the rear suspension and put the diff back in. I found a much easier way than set out in the build manual.

Stand the diff on it's nose in the diff area
Lift the diff up until the back plate hits the rear cross member, at that point the nose should be able to swivel up into the tunnel.
Support the diff whilst putting the bolts in to hold it in place

The prop is now together in the tunnel loosely bolted to the diff and engine.
The bottom cooling hose is now built up and just needs the rad screwed back in to be totally joined up, but that will need me to fit the nosecone.

I've done the gear linkage, it's a bit stiff at the moment, hopefuly some use will cure that, it's a pretty positive action but a test on the road will say how good it really is.

It's funny how a hard day's work in the garage can be summed up such a small amount of text!
