Chassis with rods


Chassis with rods

Moment of truth time. With all the wheels and the cranks on the con rods were fitted and the chassis tentatively rolled forward.

It worked !

Everything went round as expected. Actually not as expected which was lumpy with the whole lot locking up at some point. Instead it rolled reasonably smoothly. OK, the rods fell off after it rolled the length of the board but then that’s why you have to fit the washers to hold them on.
