The Alloy brackets that fix the feet to the ankles have now gone and been replaced with 3mm steel brackets that are fixed into 20mm MDF platforms. Connected under these platforms are the steel motor brackets which have now been mounted with heavy rubber grommets to help with vibration. The rear wheel experiment, attatching the wheelie wheel to the foot shell and hot the bracket has been very successful so this is now permanent. The Front foot has been altered to allow my centering spring to fit more easily and the pivot point raised by 10mm to give the front foot much more strength. This has involved changing the channel through the foot and you can now see the slight curve that has been introduced due to the ankle sitting lower.
All the bolt access points have been enlarged and on the main feet I have now fitted inspection pannles so I can get to everything, no more messing around tring to remove bolts through tiny inspection holes.
I still need to fit the skirt details around the feet but have now scrapped the wood details as these will now been made up in Alloy.
On the whole the foot is much. much stronger and will now easily cope with moving between surfaces, all I need to sort out now is the front foot caster system.
