Hiya All,
Just a quick post after popping down to Chris's yesterday to catch up and see the last bit the Duck Clutch you all helped with being worked out and checking to see if i still fitted in the seats due to the prosthetic, wether my 'new' leg or foot would get in the way and things like that before the final finishings ( well on that part anyway lol )
http://vimeo.com/60238617As you can see from the video it is and feels as strange as it looks in that you press/pull ther lever on the gearstick ( sorry I forgot to video that bit as it was very cold but i am amazed that i rememebed to take any video at all tbh as i hadn't had the intention of doing so but then i wanted to show you all and was sure you would be as impressed as i was )
In the engine bay there is even less room now as it has another extra servo plumbed in there for the clutch and behind the drivers seat a large control box with an ammended spring in there due to that having to be changed because of extra resistance on the cable not always allowing engaging/disengaging of the clutch.
Operating was a lot easier than i had anticipated with just light pressure on the lever and the clutch pedal depresses, release slowly and it raises slowly. release quickly and it raises quickly so you have complete control over it as you may be able to make out
So after a nice little chat and me trying it out breifly ( couldnt do too much as the car had the brake servo disconnected ) I tried it rather gingerly and yes i did manage to stall it a couple of times but i think it will not be too bad to get used to. Anyway... there you go... I wanted to yet again thank you all, show you all how things were progressing, wanted to thank Chris ( and everyone else ) for his (your) massive efforts and expertise and hope that very soon i will be driving her so just wanted to share with you all
Cheers All.......sorry for the rushed post but wanted to do this before some important stuff i got to do but really wanted to get this up here
Any questions i will gladly try TRY to answer and may welll read this back through and add stuff anyway as i am rambling again !!
Hope all your projects are coming along well
Chris ( Jingo )
