CDW got a reaction from mtaylor in Bugatti Type 35B by CDW - FINISHED - Italeri - 1:12 Scale
This leaves me to wonder about the tensioning of the cables. When the wheels were steered left or right, it seems like one side or the other would tighten or get slack. How was this dealt with? Hmmmmm

This reference photo shows in fact, how the brake cables were connected.

Dunno, but I've driven a couple of 3 wheeler Morgans, set up like that, without issues.
As mentioned somewhere, it may be the Bugatti's were ahead of the game.....did an online search and found they seem to have had a 'clean' wheel.

Just a heads-up for anyone who may build this kit in the future.
The plans call for a .5mm wire supplied with the kit to be used as a brake cable as seen in step 8. Instead of the .5mm wire, consider using something of less diameter and more flexible. Also, find a more efficient way to terminate the brake line at the brake drums seen in step 26. Tying a square knot just doesn't cut it for me. Got to be a better way. Will find another way to do this and will show photos of how I did it later on in this thread.

First dry fit of the body panels and hood. Very satisfied with the fit.

This pretty much finishes up the dashboard. Steering column and steering wheel get added later. More to do to finish the firewall. The seat needs paint and weathering, which will be a mini project to weather and age it the way I want it to be.
It's interesting to me the way the ignition wiring passes through the center of the dashboard and into the face of the magneto.

Hey thanks Mike. Glad you are aboard.

For the most part, I agree, but on this car, there are no controls on the steering column or steering wheel. It's got to be somewhere else.
My '64 Harley panhead had the spark advance control on the left hand grip. 🙂

Many years ago I had the pleasure to spectate at a Cadwel Park event which included a dedicated Bugatti race.
Not surprisingly, the winner was Earl Howe himself, in his own Bugatti.
There was no messing about and you could tel who the money people were; they were the ones who never shut the throttle and had no fear of a blow-up.
A remarkable spectacle.
