how do those thingy ma bobs hold the skin in place whilst you rivet. . .and have i notice some are red and some are blue. . is that for a different size hole or thickness ?
probably not the hardest question to be asked on this project
just that i haven't come across them on my travels. Benters

What about (As you previously said) 1K members paying a tenner or twenty quid to put some rivets in?
Simply not enough time to sort. Time timescales demand the upper chassis is riveted this week!!!!Benters, those are called skin pins, and the colour relates to the diameter of the hole! They're pretty clever but I can't suss how to explain their operation, sorry!

Skin pins are basically knurled fasteners, you do up with your fingers. As you tighten the "nut" it expands a pin that sticks out the bottom. So, you have the skin pin undone, you push it, pin side down into your hole (in two plates of material) and whilst pushing down, twist the knurled bit, which expands the pin, temporarily locking the two plates together. The idea is that it enables you to hold a pannel accurately in position whilst getting ALL the holes drilled and de-burred, before you put the proper (and much harder to remove) rivets in.
many thanks. . .Silent1 said:
As long as jaguar are happy i guess it's good but that video is cringeworthy, checking that the propogation of radio waves hasn't changed since we last checked that it moved at the speed of light.
The difference in speed will mean there is a doppler shift in the transmission frequency which the receiver needs to compensate for. Mobile phone communications for example will work up to around 350km/h then they will degrade and fallover so 'standard' comms equipment wouldn't work. The real testing will be done using radio path simulators so this field test is a bit contrived but the coolest I've seen !I'd be interested to know what's being used. Are there live video feeds as well as the audio & telemetry ? Modified LTE equipment may be possible and would open more options for sponsorship.

The same cosworth they were using in the first place with a sticky label that sayes jaguar?
unlikely...why would you use a bespoke, expensive, fragile obsolete F1 engine over an off-the-shelf OEM production engine?
