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.          Collection active: Lotus 97T, Audi Quattro A2, Vw Maggiolino '60

I haven't posted in a while but I've moved on Finished the final work on the cage such as the anti-intrusion side bars, and then found a Wilwood pedal set that blends well into the project. I like the latest odds checks and the general context I then moved on to choosing a suitable steering wheel. In stock I had: - Porsche - Miura -Stratos - Impreza - Mp4/4 After various tests and scale correlations, the best in shape and size is the Sparco of the Impreza.
