Blitz 2 buggie rebuild Discussion Thread

[250buggys]

Crikey looks expensive!

Well jealous, where did you get the discs and calipers from?

 

[Danny]

looks good

250buggys, I got them from "Minisport" a little expensive but if they work then well worth it and they look great.

 

[Boilerman]

Update on the brake pipes and clutch pipe, now both pulled through the secure channel under the car.

 

[Boilerman]

Timber frame and 4" wheels used under the buggy to easily manoeuvre it in and out of the garage while it has no wheels or suspension.

 

[Boilerman]

View of steering angle, I copied the Freestyle set up as I didn't like the Blitz set up, you can also see the new brake and clutch master cylinder set as well.

 

[Danny]

coming along nicely

 

[Boilerman]

Rear hub assembled today and dry fitted ready to design the shock absorber mountings, the original Blitz just had a bolt welded to the tubular frame, I intend to fabricate something more substantial and fit for purpose.

 

[Boilerman]

Accelerator pedal repositioned from the original Blitz position, now in place.

 

[Phaeton]

Just keep an eye on the handbrake bracket, yours looks substantial but they do bend/flex, get somebody else to pull on the handbrake whilst you watch if there is flex, it's an IVA fail.

 

[Boilerman]

Thanks Phaeton, I'll do that !

 

[Boilerman]

New wheels

 

[Boilerman]

brakes and front wheel set up.

 

[Boilerman]

Engine and exhaust being set up.

 

[Boilerman]

Engine and back suspension set up.

 

[Danny]

looking very nice

 

[Phaeton]

Yes looking a bit posh there

 

[Boilerman]

Thanks guys. Slowly but surely, can’t wait for the better weather so I can roll it out and get some of the larger jobs started/finished.

Does look great in white. Coming on well!

 

[250buggys]

Yes does look really good!

Hope you have a pressure washer, would almost be a shame to get it muddy!
