Looking great. What size/make of fan is that? Or is it the one you had on the inner wing?

About your subframe, it is not obvious (for me) if you enlarged the holes to be able to remove the driveshafts with the pot joints.
Did you ?

As it is a clever mod and maybe not too late.

I found making the solid jet holder and getting rid of the bi-version helped stabilise the fuelling when I ran the HIF on my Supercharger setup. I got the idea from a post on here.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Was that my carb mate? If so I only rebuilt that about 100 miles ago lol.. Also try to keep hold of that needle and spring combo - took me ages to get the fueling right for the 1380.
