Might want to get some cv boot ties for those mate, if I'm looking right , you've used plastic ones?

Either that or I need to go specsavers

Yes you are correct, i have used plastic cable ties.

But if you read then you know why. :rasp:

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

LOL yes correct

though of using jubilee (sp) clips?
Ive wrapped a Mondeo tdci decat pipe up before and used jubi's to hold it all together

might be a bodged look but function over style down the back of the engine

I was thinking about s/s lock wire, the tie wraps ive seen on Tweeks site are a fortune.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

That should work, used locking wire on house fuse boards after I've changed the DB.
Bloody strong stuff when twisted together

We need to talk about painting my inlets, engine cover and inside grab handles mate.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Oh yeah forgot you asked mate fire away. Will ask the boss how much tomorrow for you

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Just use some nice stainless narrow jubilee clips. Much better

Ive been looking on line, the thinnest i can find is 8mm.

Found theses, but bloody expensive.

Get the jubilees

The straps aren't any good and can't be reused if required.

 

[ALD]

A little bit more on your head, All the inlet ports and now done and finished, Been working on a Ford 2.3 head for Mosley's Garage so i've been taking my time with Scotts but he doesn't mind as we are still waiting for the valves

 

[Mr R.]

Ive ordered more of the wrap and ive gone for stainless steel 0.8 locking wire and pliers, that way you won't see the wire and i can do any length i need.
ALD them pictures have made me do a little bit of a wee.

Looks bloody lovely mate, keep up with the epic work.

 

[Mr R.]

Love these two shots.

 

[Mr R.]

Scrooge ALD's porting work.

 

[Scrooge]

OOOoooo If I hadn't just blown money on paintwork I could've had headwork and oversized valves in

Looks cracking, hopefully there's a noticeable difference!

 

[ALD]

I posted some of these pictures on another forum and i got this as a reply

 

[AlexW]

[Sunglasses_Ron]

This is going to look awesome going round Bedford autodrome next year

 

[ALD]

Thank you

 

[Grandpa Joe]

Tidy!

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Ooooo, love abit of porting . Would love to do something like that but I don't want to scrap my spare dci head up

remember seeing Someone on TDOCUK, do an xud9 head way overboard to the point the inlets looked like chrome lol

 

[ALD]

Highly polished on the inlets is very bad. Not good for fuel atomisation

 

[Bobby.]

Pffft, I'll believe that when I see it

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

Highly polished on the inlets is very bad. Not good for fuel atomisation

might get away with it on a diesel tho. direct injection with forced air.

not indirect with fuel air mixing in the inlet.

wrong or not? i havent a clue when it comes to porting lol

 

[ALD]

If it's direct that's fine but he wouldn't gain anything by polishing.

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

looked good i had to admit, but for no gains, i wont do mine like that then

 

[ALD]

Some people polish to stop carbon build up. Carbon will build up on any surface no matter how smooth it is.

Thank you very much mate.

Just looking forward to driving it again.

 

[Timmsy]

Thank you very much mate.

Just looking forward to driving it again.

Glad to hear you'll actually drive it and not wrap it up in cotton wool

 

[JamesWilson]

Wilkinsons sell galvanized garden wire, I just used that to tie the ends, metal tie wraps were a bit pricey.

 

[Djw John]

Are you just getting it ported and polished so its clean there too?!

Does look superb though!

 

[Mr R.]

Its by no means a show car matey, just a nice clean ph1.

I enjoy doing the work tbh, gets me out from under my wife's feet.

I bought the metal tie wraps but couldn't get them to work very well.
Ive now got stainless steel lock wire which I think should do the trick.

Yes mate, taking my OCD to a whole new level.

Cheers John.
