Projects Yet another 1930 A build starting! "The Sacramento Coupe."

Looking great Jim, excellent work!

 

You are doing a SANO job!

 

Looks like you went back to three-point mounting on the engine and trans. I think that was a good move, and it freed up plenty of space for your pedals to fit. I like the bellcrank design for the brakes, lots of ways to do it but this looks compact and solid.

 

I went with various peoples advice and missed out the middle mount to allow the frame to flex.My pedals worked fully with the engine mount in though as I like to plan for failure lol ,this way if I have any issues it allows me to swap out the rear ones and fit the mid ones quickly.

 

I put up a new video after realising that I had filmed it in the wrong format!

 

Cheers , I do try to make stuff as clean and robust as possible-Jamie keeps telling me I`m not building one of my bikes lol as I still file stuff smooth and polish them before paint goes on.

 

Cheers - I have been building motorcycles for 40+ years so stuff like the linkages is imprinted in my head lol .It may all look a bit heavy duty but for me failure of a brake system due to bad design is unthinkable!The whole plan is to have it so that when you look inside , the floor looks exactly like an A.

 

Nice neat work you're doing there, I do like an A Coupe.
