172 psh1 .... again

[powey]

love it, been thinking about the tiger sealed engine mounts a while.

Will the rose jointed style dog bone mount be ok for road use though? I was thinking a damper like they fit to civics would be a better idea as it has controlled give in it

Its only a second car so no biggy! the rest of the mounts are solid !

If its too harsh ill fit the powerfelx type! But it only cost £8 so worth a punt!

 

[powey]

you can be mr road test then, report back in a months time?

 

[ben_p]

I wish lol, the car is falling to bits lol!

6 weeks ish!

Those things are the biggest POS's in the world....never bother with them.

Who's the bird? I fancy her feet.

 

[Chrisjk]

Thats Ben i think...

 

[sideways danny]

Ben_p motorsport group Z dog bone mount is in construction as we speak too!

Take two M10 high strength rose joints,

One lenght of M10 threaded bar

and some nylock nuts and spacers etc..

Jobe done!

careful with that, M10 studding isn't high tensile (there's no such thing available) Should be able to find a long bolt with thread along it's entire length then cut the head off, headbolt for something seems a likely place to start

 

[ben_p]

Yeah I've got a 12.9 cap bolt with a long thread on it

 

[ben_p]

just ordered a 10" packet Pro Fan from SVC! £90 inc p&p with fitting kit! No Bad, blows at 1090 CFM.

 

[Matteh]

get with the times, we've had those solid dogbones on mk1s for ages

I'm running one on the 172!

 

[BenR]

They be harsh!

 

[philthy]

whats happening with the old Sparco seats?

Havent posted the service books yet - been too busy at work, will get it to you asap though.

 

[geesus69]

he's sold them i think

 

[philthy]

feck

 

[geesus69]

you wanting those exact seats?

or you just after any second hand buckets?

 

[philthy]

I quite liked them, hard buying seats when you dont know how comfy they are.

But just looking for seats in general.

 

[ben_p]

Boght a k-tech stealth and 182 manifold link pipe,

Also bought some ss rear lines from k-tech at the same time

 

[BenR]

the spend monster is back.......

 

[ben_p]

Na man, thats its now! (well bar a few things)

 

[ben_p]

*must resist 422's full headwork, 120mm trumpets and 12CR

you so funny!

it all starts off innocent, but then you always get carried away :rasp:

 

[powey]

ben which mounts have u siliconed up alltogether?

 

[ben_p]

Just crushed and tigersealed the top one, not sure you could do the others! I've got the solid dog bone and thinking of getting a ktec group n gearbox mount

 

[ben_p]

Pacet fan is here (and the fitting kit )

Its a 10" profan (blower) and is rated at 1090 CFM! Bagin at £90 inc P&P and the fitting kit

Size wise its a near perfect fit! It seems to have two tabs which need to be removed, should be easy with a hacksaw and file! Once there gone, its a perfect size (see belowe)

And it seems even the holes for the ties are in the perfect place so i dont have to mash the core!

Im super pleased!

 

[ben_p]

Picked up two new lower mounts which i need to fit on the new rad (the spikes are a bit small so i need to fill it with tiger seal :evil

Schwing!

 

[172bagss2]

Does the rad fit in the car?? :quiet:

 

[ben_p]

Yes! Thanks to keV!

 

[Adam]

[R20 CWH]

good to see her restored to former glory

 

[ben_p]

yarp! should be sweet!

 

[ben_p]
