nose suspension

 Today I have spent some time on my central suspension, having previously made the sloping uprights and their brackets.





I made a sliding collar which will bear down on the main spring, once I know how much it should be compressed; it will then be fixed in place. The collar and spring will be housed in a tube which the collar has been made to fit. But I won't cut the tube until I know how much compression I need.

Next I need to make the steering block.
