The Wolseley is to have a bespoke oil regulator to allow adjustment of oil flow to the cylinder head. Here Jacob is designing the arrangement with CAD to allow him to print an initial plastic model of the prospective design. The time to CAD something as straight forward as this flange and adjusting screw is very quick and the printer works away whilst we are working elsewhere. However, to have the final mock up in your hand is very helpful before machining the real thing in the lathe.
Please note these drawings are in an early stage, they do not yet reflect the finished item.
Here we have been working on the floor transmission cover sections to provide steel protection should the propshaft ever come adrift during racing.
The cockpit is very "compact" in the Wolseley, especially in the footwell. We have had to care fully design an arrangement to connect the throttle to the carburettor via a series of linkages, sometimes with some tricky little additions.
We avoid altering braking items as much as possible but in this case we have little choice. The brake fulcrum assembly has been repositioned by a small amount and the connection to the push rod will now be via a rose joint. Here we have calculated the loads expected through the brake pedal plus a 40% + safety margin to ensure the joint and bolt, which is now under a single shear load, are substantial.
