Yes - it is a long way across the pond! but I could not resist, these kits are so unique - and we have nothing like this in Canada, which is a shame. It is my first attempt at a build like this, and I do love a challenge. Dave from MOK is a great guy to deal with, and was very helpful to source out and acquire the proper gearbox and motor for me and ship it with the kit, along with a few extra bits he threw in to help me out. Wheels I ordered direct from Slater's, as well as a few other odds and ends.
I actually started mine about a year ago, and then work demands got in the way for about 6 months, and I have just recently blew the dust off it and started back up. I was lurking around on the RM site as usual, looking for hints and tips - when I stumbled across those magic words: "MOK 14xx build". believe me there is not too much information on this particular kit on the Internet, so your pictures, explanations and tips are like gold to me!
your build so far looks fantastic, and kudos on such a clean, polished build! I whish mine looked half as good as yours at this stage - but I am getting there. patience is a virtue, I was always told, so I am very carefully reading the instructions, (Many times), and dry fitting, (Many times) before actually committing iron to metal
I will post a couple of picks shortly of my progress so far, and I thank you so much in advance for bringing your build to the table! love the idea of the removable brake gear for servicing - just like to know your trick for soldering that tiny little nut, onto that tiny little bracket...................
Cheers,
Tom
