    After some frustrations on the mechanical side, progress has been made and confidence is building :cheers

    I thought I would post some pic's of my son's work on the good stuff.

    Thanks for the extra info @noorbeast . I think that is under control, but I am sure it will need tweaking once we are closer to testing.

    Will keep you posted. Life is a tad busy though, so it may take a while to progress further.

    nicely done! congrats :)

    You may consider creating a dead pedal at the left of the pedals: without dead pedal, your foot will be unconfortable, always above the Clutch pedal or over extended on the floor ;)

    I'm curious to see how you'll link the crank on the wiper rod.
