Volvo A40F

Hello Ari,

I should have expected this. Have been away from the forum for just some months and here is an almost half-finished (well, ok, some 20% maybe) ADT from you. Awesome as always!!! Excellent choice of model IMHO. Would build one myself if I wasn't too busy already. So that´s why I ask you where you managed to get the drawings I see in the background in some pictures? Seems to be from the spare parts catalogue.

Will follow this amazing build closely.

Thanks Stefan,
those drawings are from Volvo Prosis Workshop Manual & Parts Catalogue DVD. There are plenty of them for sale on Ebay:

I got the top plate done and also got all the bottom brackets mounted

I added some smaller parts to the back frame

I started working with the front axle. First I made the a-frame
The front axle is mounted to the frame via a 3-point mounting system, consisting of rubber springs and shock absorbers.

I made the bracket for the rubber springs and shock absorbers. There's three absorbers on each side
