Cyclekart auto union type C paint and fit up Errata: Colour is RAL9006. Here is part of the origin story of RAL 9006... "for RAL 9006 and RAL 9007. Both colors originate from the corrosion protection program of the former Reichsbahn (German state railway). These colors were mandatory for corrosion protection of steelwork (train stations, bridges etc.) and rolling stock (roofs etc.). The colors ...

Cyclekart Auto Union first test drives and analysis. - things to do to improve. I started these videos as they were experimental built around the imagined suitability of MX5 (Miata U.S) MK2 anti roll bars to use as trailing arms for a Auto union style 4 link trailing suspension. I always had some doubts about the system, but overall it works. I think it can be made to work very well, time will ...
Cyclekart Auto Union first test drive
Переглядів 3,7 тис.8 місяців тому
First test run for manoeuvrability, brakes and handling. the result was I have altered the brake pedal, but even though the wheels did some very odd things with the spring in the anti roll bars, the handling felt good. further testing required. Manoeuvrability was excellent, probably less so when bodied. Filmed by Darth Vader (no he is not my father 😁)

Hey there, nice project, whats the thickness if the axle? Thanks
1"
@@jimrawnsley thank you, do you know were can i get one?
@@ricardomarques5004 home made I'm afraid
Stunning. The quality of the panels is as good as the original. Are you planning to show it anywhere. I’d love to see it in the flesh.
At Shuttleworth today for probably my last event of the season

Brilliant idea!
Looks fantastic!
Nice work, the shape looks very nice
It's so good.

My god your my new hero! I just finished 2 copies of a 1969s Bug Sidewi der. Keep uo the good work!😊
looks fantastic Jim, 1 year well spent I reckon
Are you on Instagram?
I've never put anything away in my shed for safe keeping, only to not remember where the hell I put it Lol. I think you have done a great job. You should be proud...
Sweet! Very nice build, you should be very proud
Wonderful!
🤍 very nice!
Congratulations on a nice bit of work, the Auto Union looks great.
Cheers Olsonspeed, nice to hear from you again. Thanks for sticking through this series, it's been a journey this one!
@@jimrawnsley The pleasure is all mine, you are a CK inspiration.
looks like its speeding just sitting there! beautiful work inside and out!
looking good with the paint work now on
She's a beauty!
Great job!!
Looks fantastic
Pretty good job well fitted Going with glazed mat or just raugh?
Glazed with gellcoat mixed with 20% resin, sanded back and filled prior to painting
@@jimrawnsley TY
I like that method nice to find the video and watch the method after you taking the time to explain it to me at the Stratford show meeting I’ll see how I get on with this job later this week 🤞
Brilliant job Jim 👍
Are they 14" wheels ?
@@SmR8008 17
@@jimrawnsley Thanks. 👍
Looks great!
I am loving your videos, it’s really refreshing to see a fellow British engineer putting videos on UA-cam who isn’t completely mad
As my journeyman told me as a youth, "Engineers work to tolerances, as a joiner you must be cock on!" I don't profess to be an engineer, I have had training in welding, but my trade was wood
@@jimrawnsley your still an engineer in my opinion
You should be very pleased with the results of your fiberglass work, your kart is going to be spectacular. Are the bulk heads going to be fiberglass?
@@olsonspeed some fibreglass but others perhaps plywood bonded in to give strength and durability to the frequently removed bits like the engine cover
Looks great, Jim!
Brilliant as always mate 👍🏻 Don’t know if you’ve mentioned it but have you done a lot of fibreglassing before?
Absolutely none 😂
Looking great Jim!
Just found your video Jim. I’m planning on building an Auto Union myself so I’ll be following your build. Your’s is looking great! Cheers from Oklahoma City USA, David
Hi Jim, I just wanted to pass on that I have been watching your progress, and I apologize for not saying hello earlier. Very fine work, Jim. I am still working on my 1st cyclekart, and I appreciate your sharing your work in videos.
Cheers Garth, nice to hear from you. I do these vids to post on my build journal for the CKGB forum, I'm not a natural UA-camr and have no flashy editing skills so pretty much all of the vids are shot in one take no cuts, no script. It always surprises me that anyone watches them :-)
@jimrawnsley Well Jim, I say, keep doing what you are doing. I think your videos are very natural, and without fancy editing, your videos still highlight the many talents you obviously do possess, along with engineering skills and craftsmanship. I have been struggling to learn tig welding, and it has slowed my progress tremendously. Presently, I am considering cutting my pieces out and finding someone to complete the welding so I can move forward with my build. Best of luck with your fiberglassing. You picked a great inspiration car.
This looks really impressive! Great build!
Hey Jim the cyclekart is coming along real well. I agree with the other comments it is a great representation of the original car., so well done
Once you get the handling and brakes sorted out, this will need a Hyabusa engine.
great work Jim 👍🏻 Where did you get those big silver plates you’er using as fake brakes?
14" aluminium pizza trays from Ebay, ... I might name the finished thing the Pizza Express! wonder if I would get sponsorship?
@@jimrawnsley lol you never know mate 👍🏻
I Completely agree with your dislike of fiberglass wortk, frustrating stuff to deal with. I would like to say that your Type C appears to be the best CK representation of that mark, a beautiful bit of design and craftsmanship
Looking great
Beautiful work. The volume of the audio needs looking at as the volume is very quiet.
Wow i cant wait to see this finnished. amazing job
Ok another tip if you can see it on the buck it will print through the layup. Another thing use peel ply over the layup to remove excess resin and generate a surface texture. Peel ply can be applied in small pieces to cover complex areas. This will save you a ton of sanding.
I am very new to GRP construction, it seems the more I read and watch, the less I know about it. I have made a start on the centre section (cockpit and 4" fore and aft) and was quick enough to get CSM/woven roving/CSM on wet on wet before cure started. I struck it this morning after 36 hours but will leave it loose on the buck to cure further until after this weekend as I am taking the chassis to Santa Pod for a CK event and some going around in circles. It struck easily with little damage to the buck. Tuesday will tell if I have done my measurements right!
Subscribed but, I suggest you use epoxy for your matrix for your fiberglass. Better strength, longer working time, I have been in the composites business for decades. Check out my 1926 Miller 91 Special Indy winner cyclekart. All composite sandwich body structure on a Steve Vincent copied frame. I have electric start, battery, lights, a F/R gearbox and it is still under 300 lb. Great fun!
Thanks for the tip!
Awesome work!
The body looks very symetrical in it's roogh stage. I agree, shaping and smoothing foam is not very much fun.
