Knife Throwing Anyone?

Do you like my new collection of totally authentic Tuareg throwing knives?  The ones on the left are for filleting your enemy’s gizzard. I plan to start a knife throwing act and I’m just waiting for the big rotating wheel and the squaw outfit to turn up for my willing assistant.  (but that’s another story).

Still silliness aside this is the collection of laser cut pedal blanks that turned up today.   There are enough here for two complete pedal sets.

The brake pedals have the large complete hole in the middle that exactly matches the balance bar tube supplied by Rally Design.

The throttle have the semicircular cutout to clear the balance bar control cable… and the clutch has the large number of holes near the base to (hopefully) allow the clutch ratio to be tuned via a small bell crank.

Not bad for 38 quid, and one of those things that I have no hope of making remotely competantly by hand.  These really are rather nice. From brain to reality via Lasercut of Peterborough.

Here’s a mockup of the brake pedal…. I cant mock up the others, as to be honest I haven’t yet worked out how to mount/pivot them in the footwell.  I’m going to try and mount them on a frame also bolted to the Wilwood unit.

Here’s a mockup using the newly arrived blanks, I’ll weld up the pedals themselves this weekend, once I’ve dug the big bottle of Argon out from the other side of the garage.
