Hi Phil,
The beast is growing up, verry fast. looking verry nice. I have seen a little construction problem, at the front Brakes of the mudged. You can't fix 2 screws.... I show the problem and my solution later in my Building Blog...
Die you even see the problem Phil?

[Phil Woollard]

Maybe not Florian show me please, regards Phil.

[Phil Woollard]

I need to get the engine and gearbox out the way so I have made a start, there's along ways to go yet! You build an engine then you cut 1/3 off the crank and sump.

Looks realy great Phil,
looking forward to see how many space you have after, installation from the speaker. Could you make me an engine dummy too?

The mudged problem... have a look at part nr.: CS0344. The back side is no matter. The front side, you but the screw into the hole, butt you can't fix the nut. I'll take a M4 and make a thread into. Bevore I fix the part CS0344 on the frame.

regards
Florian

Thanks Florian, your Famo is looking very nice indeed! Could you post a photo of the offending mud guard fixing please? This will help me and many others also , now I have started on the engine details it will be a while before I get to the body work again, so it's down to you now

Regards Phil.

Hi Phil,
thanks.... I'm just now on the suspension. If I am back on the bodywork I'll post some pics from my solutuion.

[Phil Woollard]

Been logging and general farming type stuff lately but managed to do a bit more to the engine.

Wow looks great Phil,

I'm not shure in time, if I make an enginedummy, but if I see that... mybe
by the way, I want to build scale function winker... Do you have any pictures of the winker details? - I did'nt found any of that.

[Phil Woollard]

Thanks Florian, no winkers seen as yet but I will post details if I come across any, regards Phil.

Hi Phil
Great build and if you want winkers Tim Catton did them working for the SKDF7
I dont know if they are the same type though.

Hi Derek,
I want to make them working. How it goes is not my problem, unfortunatly I do'nt know how they look like.
In my SdKfz 251 are they working too, but they look diffrent.

[Phil Woollard]

Thanks Derek, ref the winkers, were they flashing lights as we know them now or were they the flip up semaphore type because I have no idea ! Or are we talking about the width indicators? Regards Phil

[Derek Attree]

Hi Phil
On the skdf7 they were the flip out type a bit like an old Austin 7

I had a 1953 Morris minor with "flip up side cators" as Steve Coogen used to call them, basically it's an electro magnet that pulls on a simple cam that lifts the arm with a yellow illuminated marker on the end, I don't think I will install a pair on this build but it would be interesting to see one on florians build ….Phil.
