      Dalek Ekō

      By EK01 · Posted

      Hi Guys,   There has been a bit of a hiatus as I had an open mic evening with a local charity I volunteer for and a friend managed to get a driving test appointment in a town 85 miles from home... Three days after the MoT expired on her car!   With only nine days until the test I pulled all the stops out and manged to get the car MoT'd which required two new tyres and both door mirror indicators being replaced... All of which was done with pre-owned parts (!) from the local scrap yard. We drove to the test centre twice and spent several hours driving around the area and likely test routes. In between those trips I was out with her for an hour or two every day. On Monday night we were all set to go even with new windscreen wiper blades.   Tuesday morning the wipers wouldn't work. I reset the computer by disconnecting the battery and everything worked as it should. An hour later on the M6 motorway doing 70 mph into a 25 mph headwind, on the top of Shap Fell, a gust lifted the passenger side wiper and dislocated the linkage. The wipers crossed over and on the next wipe the brand new drivers side wiper blade broke leaving the clip on the end of the arm as the blade flew over the roof and disappeared under the following car. You couldn't make it up! I am so glad it didn't hit a following vehicle. I drove very carefully to the next exit relying on the wind of our passage to blow the water off the windscreen where I was able to relocate the linkage and replace the wiper blade with one of the old ones which we had in the boot. Fortunately at lower speed the linkage held together allowing use of the wash/wipe and it stopped raining.   After all that she did not dare fail... She passed with no fail points. 😌   So now I am back to Dalek building with lots of pressure! I have cancelled most events, locked myself in and will only come out for food until Eko is done.   Watch this space. 🙄

      Karl's NSD

      By Skin-Job · Posted

      So, body filler's curing in the hairline cracks on the rings. Onward. Need to make the most of the time I have, as I never know when day job work will come along. The fibreglass skirt I have for Dave is part of an abandoned project by an older builder who died before he could finish it. The shape is good, and I was determined to use it in Dave's build.... The Dalek he was building was a weird mishmash of classic and NSD, and had the flanged fibreglass push-through hemis. I removed them, but now Dave has holes in his skirt. I had some discs cut from 3mm MDF, 120mm and 100m diameters. I glued one on top of the other and will glue them into the holes from behind, then skim the surface with body filler on the outside. I'll drill a pilot hole to mark the position of the hemis on the outside. Tried the black acrylic hemis into the printed oil seals. Perfect fit!   More later.
