WARP 10 Car Kits

[Schraddel]

Hello,


Started to set the queen posts. There were fortunately made out of PS.





All set and glued.





Here too i decided to use the A-Line steps, but they have to be modified because the mounting is from the side.





K-Brake here too. And here too i resigned of the presentation of the through brake line.





The i could'nt resist to mount the first truss rod.
The instructions here prescribed to made the truss rods out of fishing line of which a lenght was the kit. But before mounting the open worked turnbuckles should be slid onto the line. One end of the fishing line should then lead through a bore on the botton and knotted inside the body. The other lenght hav to be guiden over the queenposts, threaded into the other bore in the botton, set under strain and also knotted from inside.
The fishing line was bent and it took a pretty much strain to straighten it. Fo my opinion too much for the brittle resine.
So my experiment was made with 0.3mm bronze wire. I looks alright, the wire is straight and there is no tension necessary.
The wire went through an is visible within the turnbuckle. But there is a solution.





But at first i completed the brake gear because of the easier acess without the truss rods.





Then i began mounting the truss rods. This was step were i had jitters before.

But the work was easily done:
Simply thread one end of the bronze wire into the bore and bend the end about 150°.
Then thread the turnbuckle onto the wire.
Bend the wire over the first queenpost.
Slide the turnbuckle between the two queenposts.
Bend the wire over the second queenpost.
Thread it into the second bore.
Pull somewhat until it lay straight.
And then bend the other end about 150°.

So it was a easy task.
The weights here too are old nuts.







So it looks alike.
The stirrups, or more exactly said parts of them because they are not complete now, were also mounted.
