Hello from Wisconsin USA. I’ve watched every single episode from the beginning. Long time viewer /subscriber. It’s quite amazing to see all of the thought, and engineering that goes into this. In my own opinion, this is one of the best “build series” that has ever hit the internet. You guys are great!
If thus car doesn't get the recognition it deserves once it done ill be furious! Possibly one of the most bespoke builds ever. Future magazine cover car, I hope!!
Thank you for being YOU!!! KNOW, you got this ol' guy inspired again!! Passion driven is ONE of the KAZILLION reason I love this channel!! Forever a fan!!🦟#mosquitofamily4life
instead of putting bigger springs in it how about you apply some blue dykem or a permanent marker see where its fouling & clearancing the rails with a bit of sand paper just to give it a little bit of play so it can slide more easily
Glad to see you overcame the locking issue. Question I have is: How do you intend to plumb up to the master cylinders since they are now movable? Metallic flex hoses are going to resist movement of the pedals and can only accept a minimum radius for bending. Will be very interested to see your solution.
🦟 Truly inspirational, from basic raw materials including a donated kitchen appliance to a thing for functional beauty. Another great example of real engineering well done team mosquitoe
I will keep saying it, this is my favorite project on youtube. If would ever build my dream car this ticks all the boxes. Small, nimble, light, minimalistic, modern and as much analogical and serviceable possible. You add a great engine, reliable, serviceable and good fuel economy. I tell you perfect car. And doing all from scratch with your family, dream build🦟
So I guessed (half) right last week! I suggested 90 degree guide pipes (like on an Atari symbol) for two wires to go through. Turns out you only needed the one "noodle"! 🦟😁👍
Great project but i do have one slight concern that is simply that if the box is fully advanced will the good lady be able to reach the pedals to assert pressure to take the weight off the springs allowing the slider to retract?. As for the cable pull maybe an adapted motorcycle rear foot brake pedal mounted on the inner sill or centre console might work?
Solid rod design ! I had a Honda 250 K4 with that rear brake design . One day the swing arm mounted bar connected to the brake drum to prevent the drum spinning disconnected . How or why , dont know as it was dark and in the countryside , but I had to get home . However ... because the drum spun , the control rod was wrapped around the wheel axle and the force of that on the brake foot lever pivot caused the pivot cylindrical bit to open up and fall off . So once I had recovered from a massive slide , helped by the fact that I was travelling up hill , I managed to remove the broken pedal and drive home very carefully . Mind you the rear brake was seized on or very close ..... the hub was glowing when I eventually got to where I was staying .... mobile phones only existed on Star Trek then ! I still believe some idiot decided to prank me . .
❤🦟 You guys are fantastic! I’ve watched every single episode on this (and others before) and not only is it enjoyable, I’ve also learnt loads! Massive respect to you both.
How did Marcos move the pedal box on the 60s GT? I think I recall a large knob on the dash to wind them in. Would that give more fine adjustment? Also, what's the chronograph Andrew is wearing with the light blue dial and red/brown bezel? Beautiful colours. 🦟
The pins shouldn't have a bit of a taper, to have less friction, and would pop in much easier? It should be greased as well. I'm watching it all the way to the end, but I don't know how to add a Mosquito.
I think your spring design is overengineered 😂 Just put a tension belt loop there to have a nice grip and you could pull it easily. Like those lightweight porsche door handle loops... And maybe you could even unlock your mechanism by this loop because your locking bolts seem to be pretty strong
The unit wot are goung to do put it on a spring pushing it towards the seets so you push the cable then u push the unit with your feet to the position you need then it locks in place.then next person pres the cable then the unit pushes forward then so on if you no wot I meen please let me now 😉
Why don't you paint the car like a fighter plane with the kills and you no with the sharks face on the side look at the world war 2 planes with the markings on it you know put the rivits in the paint work to mack it look like it's made from aluminium its a thought 😮👍
🦟 YT actually showed me the notification within a few hours of posting. Much better robot performance! Can't wait to see how you guys finish this box out. Going to be as lovely as the gear shift I'm sure.
Great success. this is the solution that I guessed you would use to get it working because I figured it would be the lightest option. hooray for old mtn bikes and here is a 🦟 for your scourge (I googled what a group of mosquito's is called and apparently it's a scourge and now you know 😆)
Many years ago I saw the use of the cable housing to move a lever with the cable end fixed. At the time I thought it was backwards. Seeing the solution you've come up with to pull both pins is genius. 🦟
620 kilos is crazy light. thats about 60kg lighter than an S2 Elan (My dream car). 3 in 1 silicone spray would work well on the nylon runners. It will make it worse to start with, but once the carrier has evaporated (
Your pedal box is like a jewel box of ideas and fabrication skills, however I still have my doubts about how you will fit the hydraulic lines in and out of those master cylinders, under the foot-plate that will cover them, and avoid a nest of issues with connections to flex-lines, and potential leaking, as well as bleeding access. It appears the cover plate will end up quite high to afford room for all those hoses and their required freedom of movement. 🦟
Maybe if you used drawer runners with bearings (You can get heavy duty ones used in mechsnic's tool boxes), the pedal box will move easier forwards and backwards for adjustment. The problem with the plastic board is, thermal expansion of the board, when it gets warm , and/or built up dirt in the runners can cause it to seize on the aluminum runners....
Although you won't change to proper ball bearing sliders, you can reduce the surface area of the moving part of the slider by making notches along the bearing surface. Graphite lock lube shouldn't pick up too much dirt and that would also help. Dirt would deposit in the notches. 🦟
I can’t help thinking that small dia needle roller linear bearings are required, or more clearence and rely on the peg locations for taking the movement out under braking, but still a great looking bit of kit.🦟
All the way through watching this I was remembering something I was told while I was training as an engineer. It was "The tighter the clearance, the smaller the spec of grit needs to be to jam it up solid" (I'm paraphrasing here, as UA-cam wouldn't be happy if I'd added the five expletives minimum that would have typically been in a sentence of that length. 😄). So, how you intending to keep the specs of grit out of it? 🦟🐝
Guys ! Love your chanel and your work ... but please; get a new bench drill press. It pains me every time I listen to it and watch how sloppy it works.

Before the video started I had actually though of suggesting the "noodle" though I had no idea what it was called! Well done gentlemen. And I must say, you two may have ruined a whole group of build channels for me. Your attention to detail, your passion, and getting it right without compromise is nearly addictive. Lastly, well done, as always to Miriam 🦟🦟🦟
why diden you go with some locking rails? it would proberly be about the same weight but be a much simpler construction alltho i can respect wanting to build it from the ground up :) 🦟
i will say it again, if you ask for a mosquito comment at the beginning of the video you have no way of knowing people watch the video until the end 😜, but here it is🦟
Our man 'Q' would be pleased with the anti theft trap you designed which , of course , you have rightly disabled for civilian use ! I might have paused the video , but I always watch through and even wait for an advert to the skip option ! Ta , loved video and how you fixed the problems . 🦟
I love the fact that when you run into a problem you don't quit until you solve it that's the way to get quality work done

Hey guys, do you have a concept drawing of the body with all the modifications you have thought of so far?
I wouldn't want to spoil the suprise

Surely there are worm drive components available that would be a far neater solution to adjusting the peddle box fore and aft.
The pedal box has been the highlight of this entire fabulous build. I would never have thought that possible after previous bits like the shifter. 🦟
Alternatively you could use a bonnet release mechanism to achieve the required travel
Can't wait to see this project on the road _

Instead of the pins going into the holes to register, you could use a saw tooth and it will self register
Another interesting and informative session! 🦟

Congratulations, I did not think you would manage it and would have to consider an alternative system.
Awesome series to follow. Thx guys..🦟
That is a seriously complicated bit of kit. It's coming along nicely, should be a great solution once it's fully dialed in and installed in the car.
Seeing you with that bolt at the start reminds me of how much I love a Topeak Ratchet Rocket… 😅
Nice work lads 🦟
I do like this design and am interested to see how it holds up over time.

Fiat 126 & old 500 had the starter & choke cables mounted on the floor/tunnel moulding. They may be easier to source.🦟
YHave you thought about an small offset crank to amplyfie the cable pull travel?

Why would you not put the master cylinders behind the pedals in a vertical position ?
Some people just like to work smarter not harder
🦟 not convinced of the sliding mechanism
