Not much to report lately, just been collecting some small bits for the build. Managed to pick up a lever bias valve and 3 chamber reservoir that had been mounted but never used at decent price. Also got a brake hold/line lock solenoid for the rears when on the grid as done have a handbrake...

Enough? Yes it has some gubbins inside to have help air separation. "The scavenge oil return is fan tailed and angled onto the inner side wall of the tank to to spin the oil and air apart.The oil then runs down through a flat baffle plate to promote further oil air separation, finally...

@EVO 4LEX is the guy to talk to if you fancy one 👍🏻 you know it makes sense 🤪

Less of a progress report and more of a fashion show post Took delivery of a Carbon bulkhead infill plate thingy this week, will let the pictures do the talking Big thanks to Alex Gregory for making it 👌🏻 Oh and it weighs in it at just 210grams rather that 840 like the steel one.

Bit more done today, Fittings arrived this week to make a start on the fuel lines and get the last oil line finished but like always what you think is right never actually is 🤦🏻‍♂️ Bottom feed line done. Tank did have plastic push fit 90° fitting with a ½" BSPT thread but trying to find...

Things have been slow going again lately with building cages and moving house. Slight bit of progress yesterday though getting the Laminova mounted and the oil lines done. (One fitting short of finishing them 🤦🏻‍♂️) Fab'd up a lower bracket to locate the tank as trying to holding it place with...

Manifold - 75mm Body - 66mm Trumpets - 93mm Spacer center line - 25mm

Don't think anyone would disagree with you on that one

You're probably right I could of got away with something like that but wanted to try bolt from the spacer into the inlet manifold as per the standard. Plus as Mark said #becauseracecar weight saving and all that 😂

Was keeping that one on the QT till we got them modelled and into production 😂 You can go into that one if you want to mate 😉

Designed like that because they need to be like that mate. The straight spacers that was in before put the trumpets nearly touching the bonnet. And the taper is to go from the 50mm bodies down to the inlet manifold

Time for a bit of an update then. Tweaked the design for the angled spacers and put them out for quotes to be cnc'd Wasn't really sure what to expect with the bore having a sweep and a taper but quotes came back ranging from £224 each 😬😬 to £98 each 😬 (still a bit of a sting) Anyways they...

Cheers for the tag mate. Get your name down for the engine build, I know you had fun building this one 🤪

Now that looks the dogs danglers. Will do some research

Do you not think that would be deep enough to fit the trumpets in then? He didn't send any dimensions over unfortunately
