Many Thanks Chris


The third attempt is the good one....is right one in teh first pics.

After scaling it to 108% of the source file, I found the right size for my seat. Checking photos on the 911 network which, use the Recaro and Sparco ssport bucket seat, I verified that with the three sizes (X,Y,Z) I have now found the correct scale.

Not being able to convert this STL into an editable body, I solved the problem working on the brackets of the seat the seat to the floor.

Slightly inclined and directly fixed to the seat.
Now I will print the other one too and finally I will be able to start with the roll vcage.... starting from the bases of the various tubes.

With the first part of the roll cage consolidated, I moved on to designing the more complicated piece.

The upper junction must connect: roof side tube coming from the front pillar; central vertical upright, upper connection tube between the two central uprights, rear upright tubes that will connect in the lateral area of ​​the firewall/internal fenders and finally lateral crosspiece that starts from the upper left central upright and which will anchor on the firewall/right rear mudguard ....in short, a "nice" headache to make come back.

After 3 attempts and adjustments they succeeded.

I assembled everything dry with the body fixed so as not to have any future surprises.
With ciano glue and bicarbonate I gave some "solder points" so as not to lose the positioning.
I disassembled the body and finally welded the upper "square" of roll cage.

I then fixed the cross tube onto the roof square by bending it to follow the curvature of the roof pavilion

Once everything has been fixed, the last part is missing: the rear.
I designed the lower part of the firewall that I was missing and where the last pipes will be anchored with the relative plates which are almost ready.... meanwhile in the first part of the firewall I have arranged the holes for the future intercooler pipes .

I reassembled the bodyshell and everything comes back as estimated and assembled.

Once the steering column was fixed I designed and printed the collapsible steering wheel hub.

I took as a reference the various Raid / Sparco / Momo around

I calculated the interference dimensions to mount the hub inside the steering column cover and finally positioned the steering wheel in its place.

Before proceeding to paint the floor I filled the last points with milliput, especially in the area of ​​the rear plate attachments and in the lower area of ​​the front pillar.

I then refined the positioning of the pedal board by creating a plate which serves both to raise the pedal board itself and to allow correct positioning.

Again taking inspiration from various 911s found online, I created some boxes that will be used to channel the oil pipes (right side) and fuel pipes (right side) inside the door sills.

I Painted the floor (from which I however removed the tunnel raiser to repaint it in matt black)

I have prepared the templates for the flocking but it will not be integral.
With flock I used a coarser grained felt as then on the true 1:1 compared to the Alcantara of the dashboard.

I coated everything except the top of the rear firewall, all the roll cage attachment plates, the center tunnel, the pedal riser plate, the door sills and finally the front firewall.

Thanks Mark

I proceed with some carbon details such as:

- Cover on the tunnel raiser which eliminates the handbrake and the various levers
- Dashboard moldings and glowbox door
- Cover of the tunnel well where there is access to the clutch cable, gear shift rod, gas cable and fuel pipes

I then moved on to the pedal box work by fixing the gas pedal of the 911 on the Wilwood

Finally, after the decals rested for 24 hours, I sealed everything with clear glossy

Finally I printed some through nuts with bolts and finished the last details on the tunnel and pedals before the final fixing.

I designed, printed and painted the link for the throttle cable to be fixed on the pedal
