Hi,
Today I spend some time to finish the tail, but that was not enough for me so I decided to cut the just laminated tail and adapt it to the original seat's ground plate.
Just look at the pictures, descriptions follow:
This is the hump next to the ground plate, laying as it will be on the plate after adapting.
The result is an overall length of 780 mm for the seat (tank to tail's end).
The red arrow marks the position of the seat's end. Quite long, isn't it?
After I trimmed it with the angle grinder it fits relatively well.
It isn't fastened yet so excuse the bad angle of the tail.
As you can see in the picture, the ground plate has still to be finished to smooth the round forms, as shown by the two red lines.
Unfortunately the resin attacked the Styrodur's surface so the original form was destroyed.
That's the way I cutted the original ground plate to make it possible for the tail to fit on it. It still has to be finished and welded then.
So that is enough for today, going to relax while I'm swimming.
Oette
