Prototyped mechanical aspects of electronic shifting in the shop. Designed the actuator mount in SolidWorks. Compiled the order form for the actuator and actuator mount material. Shifting

Some issues have caused Pedal Assembly not to be finished Throttle and clutch pedals will be thinner version of brake pedal Order forms for steering have been completed and turned in Pedal Assembly

Finalized design choices for ordering parts for cooling and fuel systems Choices are based on needs, quality of products and budget considerations Radiator: Speedway Universal Ford / Mopar – 19” x 22” x 2.25” – 2 rows of coolant tubes – Highly efficient due to use of maximum fins per Inch to increase air cooling surface area – Cost effective at 129$ Fan: 14” Electric Fan – 1500cfm 3” x 9” over flow tank Coolant hoses and associated adapters Cooling

Completed Solid Works 3D design – design utilizes 2mm (to support welding) and 5052 aluminum to keep weight low. To be donated by Bauer Compressors Finalized design choices and completed cost list for ordering parts New Pressure gauge (0-100psi, Aeromotive) Materials to fabricate a fuel filler neck and vent PTFE SS Fuel hoses – chosen for its compatibility with high Octane fuels Durable, chemically and heat resistant Blank fuel rail for fuel injection Fuel cell safety foam – a modification in sloshing control from baffles Fuel Cell
