Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I started working on the oil coolers, but decided to machine the sandwich block and a couple fittings first.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
The kit oil coolers were reworked and had some details added including some machined aluminum items and custom decals. They will be mostly hidden behind the radiator when done.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
The markings have been added to the timing tab and the bolts for the harmonic balancer and lower pulley have added as well.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I made the first sections of the exhaust pipes, brass, styrene rod and pliable tubing.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
Really enjoying watching this model come together. I think your approach is the best option for a kit like this; getting satisfaction from doing the best possible job on all the small parts. Eventually, slowly, you'll have a masterpiece!

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
May I ask, where you get all the measurements from for drawing this?
Do you always have 1:1 parts at hand? Drawings from the manufacturers? Or do you simply guess them?

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
Usually, and in this case I have the 1:1 real parts. I understand the brake adjuster is worth a couple thousand dollars. (It was loaned to me for this project.)
But the dimensions for a lot of parts are listed in catalogs and online at the sellers sites. |

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
For some reason the proportioning valve would not print/grow with the rest of the layout. I tried to print it separately but the printer stopped reading all files, so I made one from scratch the old fashioned way while I try to figure out what the problem is.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
These are the masters I pulled a mold off for the brake and clutch parts. I broke the little bracket extricating it from the RTV, no problem; it will be more resilient as a cast part.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
I got the printer working again and made the original proportioning valve I did in 3D. (I guess it's like losing a part in the carpet; make a new one and you find the original…)

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
The cap for the clutch master was made with the other parts, it grew well and even cast nicely, but it didn't look right. So I milled a new one.

Re: Lola T-70 Mk III
The master cylinder assembly with J56 proportioning valve & bracket and cap w/gasket. Working cap clamps too… (overkill?). The bleeders and front line fitting will be added later.
