Hey Joe,
The blade width is 425mm. It was put on the scales today.
The weight came in at 22kg, the only things to add to that will be the battery, electronics and a small amount of body work, so I am guessing a finished weight will be around 25kg

Hi Paul it is realty taking shape now won't be long before you will be pushing dirt. Keep up the good work. Ed

Joe, When I first read thongs I thought maybe I had missed a picture where he was bent over showing a lot more than just a plumbers crack. Then I realised you were referring to his choice in footware. Us southern folks call those flip flops. For a split second I was afraid this thread had taken a turn to the kinky side.

Lol,,, my exact thoughts too, I went back and was looking for someone wearing a thong in background or something I missed. Lol,,,, took a bit then realized the flip flops.

425mm? that's just a tad narrower than Joe's D9 blade in 10th... it'll be interesting to hear from you what all the dimensions are when one is completed to compare with.

This one is currently about half the weight.

Yes, I paused for a second after writing thongs, but that's always been the cdn term for them... imagine what my thought was a few yrs ago when I 1st heard the American womens' fashion trend of their thong showing above their pants??!!!

it was WT? - till I saw a picture.

Hey Joe you are spot on with calling them thongs for Australia, our friends in New Zealand also call them flip flops, so don't feel to bad

I'm looking forward to seeing this thing in action, Paul. Your doing a fine job, not that my approval means anything.

Yes I am also ready to see it in action BUT
We will have to wait for another time for the dirt run, today the hydraulics came off to seal the rams as a couple had a weep

. Now they are all 100%

The body work started today as well. It looks straight forward until you start trying to get all the angles correct

I love your machine skills

titandigs · #12 03-03-2014, 03:16 AM

Here are some photos of the bonnet construction, there is still a lot of fitting to be done. More to come later.
Also gave the cylinders a lick of colour.

Thanks for looking,
Paul

I like your safety shoes

What makes you think its Beer? It could be soft drink

and the safety shoes are common for this time of year as the temperature is over 30 degs most days.

1. There are no "export" named soft drinks

2. You're an australian

Anyway, that's gonna be an awesome model! Congrats! Markus

Here is the latest photo of #1 The tank on the back and floor plate will be remade and fitted so it can hold the hydraulic oil as the Leimbach tank is too small for the amount of oil in the system
