Here are some early progress shots of my current project. All the typical Pocher bugaboos apply...screw holes all too small, friction-fit parts fit is too tight, etc. But given the incredible complexity of the engine and chassis, all in all the pieces go together very well. The only major misalignment I've run into is that the lower arm of the
accelerator
pedal linkage doesn't line up with its connection point (the threaded rod on the transmission)...it's too long by about 1/8". Just enough so that it doesn't fit. I simply clipped off the linkage arm right where it hits the threaded rod. Nobody will ever know the difference...
Anyhow, in particular order, here's where I am. Still need some fuel lines added between engine and firewall, need to install the gas tank, fan, radiator, etc.
A shot of the brake linkage on the left side of the trans:
Pedals, brake lever and shifter:
The carb is too big, and mounts too high on the intake side of the engine. There's not much I could do about the overscale size, but I did lower it to a more prototypical position. Of course, lowering the carb meant interference with the steering box (!), so I had to notch the frame rail a bit to move the box away from the carb. That didn't provide enough clearance so I also had to grind down the back side of the steering box and the lower front of the carb. It's a VERY tight fit...but I did manage to get everything to go where it's suposed to go:
Left side of engine. You can barely make out my scratchbuilt fuel filter mounted on the firewall:
