Happy birthday Andrew! What a star you are spending your birthday doing the car project! Oliver is a lucky lad to have the time to spend with such a great engineer and offshore that he appreciates you. Don't feel guilty about your early years with working while the children grow up, you were only doing what all other good fathers do, providing them with all you could and probably going without yourself, I think we can all see what a great Dad, Father and Mentor you are to young Oliver, keep up the good work! P.S. I have a cheap pillar drill (yours looks a bit of a better quality than mine!) but if you put an end mill in the chuck and bring the quill down to take say a 1 or 2 mm cut, then tighten (lock) the quill in that position (mine has a spotted screw and locking nut) that takes all the slack out of the X, Y and Z axis to allow you to move the part in the X and Y axis. Now all you need is a X,Y axis drill press vice new or 2nd hand. Voilla! you have limited milling capability.
Great work again guys, careful when drilling plate without clamping. If the drill snatches the workpiece will spin and have your fingers.
Hi Andrew, As a retired engineer myself (F.E. College) I really enjoyed watching you teach your son an enormous amount of "old school' techniques which nowadays are lost from mainstream engineering schools (unless they're lucky enough to have there own 'Andrew'!) Seeing you file the flat on the tough piece of material, I thought, you haven't a mill to do it, but you do have a lathe! If you put a fly cutting tool in the lathe chuck and the shaft in the tool post you can feed the steel bar toward the fly cutter and then lock the carriage and use the cross feed to take a cut along the the surface of the bar, then repeat till you have the depth and length of cut required. Hope this helps you for the future, Denis cheers, Denis
Wesley Kagen just dropped his fist video in a long time, and I couldn't help but wish as he was assembling his beautifully engineered and manufactured pedal box that we got at least half as much "how it was made" content as you and your dad give us. Fantastic work, as always Oliver. Watching people create is always fascinating, which is probably why we all tire of the automotive shows that just throw part catalogs at a project. Unfortunately not everyone can take the time to also run a camera every minute they're creating. So thank you for keeping the cameras rolling.
@@gollumthewicked thank you for the motivation
Looks great guys! You commented on being weird - weird people are always creative, and you guys are certainly creative. Love hearing you explain not just how you’re going to do something, but why. The why is often more important than the how. Keep it up!
@@jeffdrew9899 I couldn't agree more 👍🏼
How about putting your front shocks in-board, horizontally, and a Pivoting quadrant with a push rod from the upper or lower wishbone so overcoming the shock/spring size problem?
@@denisharvey2507 I cover this in a later video but pushrods are great if you have downforce because you can have rising rate suspension but otherwise it's added cost, complexity and 5kg+ extra per corner with no real benefit.
I had never imagined that a pedal box needs so much work and engineering. I would just have ordered one at cipere (order no. 16437) if that part wouldn't be one of the very few original parts. at my car ;)
YOU GUYS ROCK!!! "ALREADY BEEN SAID.....gotta 2nd it, BEST CHANNEL ON RUclips!!!" I tell everyone about your channel. "I make sure they're paying attention too!!"😂😅😊 please never leave or change!! So addicted to your build!
Thank you so much! how can I not feel motivated after a comment like that
Wouldn't have thought to use a lathe to mill down a surface, but it sure works.
*I just binge watched a few episodes to catch up and I’ve got to say you did a great job acquiring the perfect headlights, tail lights and fog lights for the Mosquito* *From the first time I saw the styling of your car it reminded me of the Lancia Stratos so I was very happy to see you found some beautiful retro round tail lights that fit the car so well* *I know they aren’t mounted yet but I think your planned fog light placement looks off, it would look better if you placed them in the opening in the center of the bumper or on the hood in a pod like a rallye car imo, just a suggestion* *It’s cool to see you and your father working together on the build I love this tiny project car, can’t wait to see it on the road some day*
It'll look right with the wide arches hiding some of the added width trust me

That's weird, when you made the other 2 pedals, I was thinking what about a bicycle crank 😮😮
Great minds and all that
Great video guys, thank you.
Was waiting for that go pedal twist. As a bike shop tech, i approve!
Less Hack Sawing noises would be good. I imagine not one of your subscribers enjoys that sound in there earphones. Either mute or music. Love all the content and enjoying the build otherwise.
I was wondering how you would do the pedal box… I really like the solution.
I've seen a few milled pedals where they essentially used the end of an angled end mill (i was taught how to machine but not "properly" so idk a lot of terminology) and ran grooves in the pedal on a grid to create a kinda trapezoidal profile, square top pads (not a super tight grid usually like 3 or 4 rows/columns depending on pedal size) then drill out the intersections of the lines for lightness. I had to make a foot pedal for this gnarly old school ironworker we have and i wanted it to look fancy so i did the grid and even with oil and coolant all over your shoe sole you dont slide off. Hope this makes even a slight bit of sense
Somebody please send these men a block of billet aluminium to make a much better matching accelerator pedal!! I love the current recycled crank but it just looks to thin and hasn't got the hole etc like the others :/
It'll have holes don't you worry
@OliverPickard my ocd has settled now hearing this 👌🏻😄
@@JambonJovii all a throttle does is tension a couple of springs and pull a cable so it can be super light
@OliverPickard as long as it has the matching holes at the same level as the other 2 pedals like dad meticulously mase them, I'm all for it! That's what stood out to me, in a previous episode he was quite proud of that little detail. As was myself, hence the need to see more of the accelerator 👀👌🏻
16:00 it's so strange seeing it done that way i would of just welded it, basically warp only happens IF you don't jig it correctly & clamp it down enough to counteract the warp. to give you a rough idea how to i'll explain a scenario: you have two aluminium plates ones clamped firmly to a flat surface the other is tacked to the clamped plate in the middle of each side of the plate if you were to run a bead across the top the only way the free plate can warp is up & down because of the tacks act as a pivot point, it can't warp down because the clamping surface is in the way to the only way the free plate can warp is up so the best way to counteract said warp is to clamp it to the flat clamping surface to stop the upwards warp. so in short how accurate a welded part is is dependent on the skill of the welder to minimise distortion i should know this since for a couple years i welded 1,5mm aluminium window cills for a living & that material used to warp if you looked at it funny :p
Yeah if we had a welding table we could make a jig but we don't and the down side of antique oak tables is they aren't exactly flat haha
Awesome work, as usual. Can't believe you two haven't hit 15000 yet... Going to link and share wherever I can. I know I'll be watching this build to the finish and any other future projects you guys come up with.
Thank you so much
Boxing clever, Young Einstein. 🤓👍
Another amazing, enjoyable 23+ minutes. Reposted to FB and GAB as usual.
best youtube channel ever
Do you have to worry about galvanic action between dissimilar metals? I’m assuming at some point you’re going to have to attach aluminum to steel.
Great work as always. I think a cool look would be for you to create a jig to hold brake and clutch pedals at their correct orientation when mounted and then have your dad use the lathe to create concentric circles for the grip surfaces. You could then do the same to the accelerator pedal by just using its current center point. I'd finish it off with countersunk holes to further reduce the weight. Whatever you do, you'll make it look great, but you can really have some fun coming up with a finished pedal grip pattern and finish.
Thanks!
Thanks Matthew
Fantastic work as always. Love how the pedal box is coming along. Cannot wait to see the plates
Thank you. It looks a bit agricultural at the moment but it's getting there.
@@OliverPickard Also Proper DurAce, not the mud they sell now that delaminate just by looking at it.
Chatter on a countersink in aluminium is always an issue without a fully sorted tool and the right speeds etched, don't ask me how I know...
I reckon the mosquito will be done before Project Binky gets an update film.
Great box design, I deffo should have gone that route of the underfloor option. I also chop up pedal arms 😂
I wish I had your knowledge of car design and skills a few years , ok two decades ago ! I was lent a copy of David Vizard's book ca;;ed 'how to modify A series engines ' , or similar . This book goes into every conceivable mod under the bonnet and it inspired me to build a Mini street race engine . When I settled down a bit from dreams of 120 hp , I realised I would need a car body and even then decent Mini chassis cost more than I had . Even if I bought a second hand shell Minis were known for needing a bit of welding for mot tests etc ; welding was a skill I had no time to learn really . Long story shortened ... I bought a brand new GTM Rossa Mk2 ! Guess what it never was completed . Some excuses could include a divorce , blah blah . So here I am watching you building a car from a glass kit car , a Cox GTM no less , and you are building metal into it . The opposite to what I had planned ! Most interesting and enjoyable . Thank you for showing us your ideas and skills , we must never stop learning !
I couldn't agree with you more and I'm shocked how undervalued rossas are even to this day
@@OliverPickard The prices of mini A series parts has made rebuilding them a less popular engine . So unless , like yourselves , you can install another engine competently , a pre K series engined GTM is not so attractive . AC Dod , who has a youtube channel and a mini expert , was saying a second hand second gear was 250 quid on a recent video . I must admit that I did think of using a bike engine in my Rossa and I am most surprised you have managed to squeeze a Honda R type motor into your car ! Fair play . Your attention to detail and explaining stuff will keep me watching . All the best ,
@davidyendoll5903 honda D series is the way to go you get your 120bhp with less weight and a 5speed but the K3 rossa uses the rover k and seems a great proposition
Oliver, on the pedal box construction; having built myself into having to solve that warping problem; I cut heavy wall tubing to fit through all of the parts that had to align, braced it and welded it, then hammered out the steel tubes . Worked like a charm. As usual, you and Andrew have turned the "merely" into something exceptional.
Thank you very much it'll be smart when it's done
Like the start of the pedalbox, i have an obp reverse cylinder floor mount setup .. steel frame with aluminium pedals.. doesn't look as sexy as yours
I looked at those they seem good quality
brilliant work again guys👍 Im not sure if you have mentioned it but the Marcos Coupe has fixed non adjustable seats and gets over the issue of drivers with different leg lengths by mounting the pedal box on sliders so that it can be moved back and forth bu the use of an arcamedes screw and a small wheel on the dashboard.
That's the plan-ish. It's something common on insurance racing cars too
Great job boys when cutting aluminium I use tallow makes the job a lot easier
And it makes the workshop smell 🤢 haha
Great short content. I’m following avidly.👍
You guys are amazing. My brother used to say: "If someone held a gun to my head and said, 'Cut a straight line with a hacksaw or we will cut off your willy!', I would say 'just cut it off because there ain't no way I can cut a straight line!"
Haha it's easier with thick stuff
Nice looking compact design.
Hi both a real fresh air blast each week with the can do make it work attitude. As you know we have an IVA scheme here in the UK for individual crafted vehicles. I know its a long way off but is there a similar situation in France?
Yes there is something similar but it's wildly complicated
Oh must be the French addiction to paperwork at least here i can email, telephone or visit the local assessment centre to discuss and resolve any issues. I must say the engineers and staff are extremely helpful in such matters
In Sweden, individually crafted cars, gets the label "Amateurbuilt vehicle". Does wonders for self-esteem 😂
Great job, only, with the master cylinders clocked at an angle the bleed port in the master cylinder wont be at the top to help bleed air from out of the cylinder itself, you might have trouble bleeding residual air from the cylinder, a mushy pedal is no good to anyone.
Even with the cylinders clocked the port is at the top 👍🏼
Whoa. That’s a whole can of worms right there Oliver…the Campag. v Shimano debate!! That looked like a 7400 crank? One of the best looking chainsets ever in my humble opinion. A great use for a cracked one. Another great episode. Thank you.
It was indeed 7400, Sun tour Superb pro was fantastic and extremely under appreciated too
i love the size of this pedal box
Presume you played about with the spacing for heeling and toeing. How did you work that out before the (beautiful) parts existed?
Experience and measuring our favourite shoes to drive in
I think you're doing a fantastic Father and son project with that car The nice thing about it is that with the engine and transmission and other parts on the off chance that something breaks down the road it's not going to break the bank to be able to fix it.
Definitely we were really conscious of repairability and consumables
What do I think? Bloody brilliant is what I think! I’ve watched all the vids and really appreciate your reasoning in doing every step of the build in your own way and communicating the methods clearly. Cheers H.
Thank you so much
