How time flies, no wonder this thing is taking so freeking long to build
As if I wasnt busy enough, I ended up having to go back offshore to cover for someone, that combined with some courses, looking for a house and countless other stuff i've had feck all time left to get any productive work done on this.
Anyway rant over lol
Rack bushes for those who expressed an interest. The last time I spoke to the guy at the machine shop, he had bought the material and was going to make the first pair and then get back to me with a price, he's mega busy so I've not been wanting to add any pressure, ill give it till the end of next week then see where he's at.
Engine bay fire ext lines partly installed, once all the big stuff is in the engine bay, i'll pick the best route and position for the nozzles.
Wiring loom connectors mounted in a wee ally plate, x2 on the left are for the engine, injectors,coils,sensors etc and the other is for all chassis related stuff, lights, fan, wheel sensors etc
The two looms will be kept completely separate making engine removal easier.
Fire Ext lines and control wiring run in
Had this designed and made by AH fabrications.
It has x3 ball valves in it which allow fuel in but not out. I've tested it by sitting it in a shallow tray with some petrol and sloshing it about, it's quite impressive how much it manages to gather up. Once it's in there it doesn't come out with a fight. Time will tell how well it works and how low I can run on fuel. The lift pump can run dry continuously for 30 mins so it wont do it any harm if it gets air, as long as it sees enough fuel to keep the pot topped up.
And just before I called it a night, I made a start on wiring up the switch panel, this may take a few hours! but it's actually quite therapeutic.
