Jon

I think we can safely say you've put the isonblade to bed now,well worth the wait

body work looks like it was worth the wait too.

Nice job mate

Top Job

Just noticed the markings on your wheely bin, do you race that as well?


Surrey Dave - 30/6/04 at 07:44 PM

Looks good , similar to the Genesis that won at Brands on Sunday.

am I right in thinking that having the engine transverse does away with all the 'lube' probs when putting a bike engine in a car?

Also that axle arrangement is there a diff of somekind in there or is it direct drive to both wheels?


andyps - 30/6/04 at 09:03 PM

Looks like it was worth the wait - the finish looks really good.


Jon Ison - 30/6/04 at 09:37 PM

the only race the wheely as is every monday morning just after we hear the bin men go..........

there is an ATB in there hiding behind the exhaust.......


Peteff - 30/6/04 at 11:17 PM

What driveshafts does the Quaife ATB chain diff use Jon, are they specials or easy to find?


pbura - 1/7/04 at 04:01 AM

The Isonblade was a beauty, so I've been looking forward to this one...

Super attention to detail, Jon, and good taste, too

No passenger seat? Your pals are going to be disappointed

I agree with all the above comments, that's incredible.

If you also look at the very nice Indy zx9 in the For Sale section, you see the level of quality some people like you two (and many more) can achieve.

Nice one, and some inspiration too!

Adam.

Jon Ison - 1/7/04 at 07:35 PM

fiesta/escort/orion push in joints, i have the part number if anyone wants it, the actual shafts where made by a bloke who does some machining for martin,

Martin told me where to find him, "just up road, big bungalow with a door underneath it" "found the bungalow knocked on door underneath it, it was an aladins cave with lathes, millers and an (hope he dont mind) elderly chap in brown smock machining away, after hours of chin wagging i left in anticipation, couple of days later 2 sets of shafts, correct length, circlip grooves the works, the outer ends of the shafts just slid on the splines perfectly, top job by a man whoes knows his stuff and who's skills are sadley not been replaced by us young ens.............


Jon Ison - 1/7/04 at 08:00 PM

PaintShop Pro is tops for manipulating images, and you can buy cheap on eBay. An older release is fine.

Your original was 2.4MB and this is 25k, and I could probably have compressed even more: Rescued attachment untitled.jpg

I use IrfanView for resizing pics and lots other stuff like color adjustment, cropping and changing format of the pics I take. It's a fantastic program, it's free (you can download it from the official site) and since it's "only" a viewer, it's very small to download and to have, you don't even need to install it as such if you don't want, you can just put it somewhere and run it.

Actually the only thing I do to the pics I take which requires a different program is red eye reduction. For that I need to use a.. backup of Photoshop I had made.

Cheers,

Alex
