Little Update this arived today :)

well you wont be needing any mirrors to do ur makeup in, just take a look in the boot. :)

looks very smart indeed.

oooh where the tank from paul?

Paul,

Are you using ptfe buttons in tapered pins?

Yes Joe I turned the buttons to the mirror of the taper on the button there not press fit con-rods tho I have used this a few times befour to very good effect.

Stig, tank came from Demon motorsport, top class very well made with a fuel guage sensor and tripple baffeled. Really very well made.

Looking good Paul, not sure if you know but its well proven that long strokes rev better and run smoother with a 4 bolt centre cap

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

looks great cant wait to see it finished

Done now needs redoing lol

hmm nice tank and swirl pot. will look well tidy all plumbed in.

Hi Thanks Lads,

Well very little to report other than I have bought this little puppy form Marke which should finish off the back side nicely :)

Looks heavy.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Ya Ill have so much more power Ill need the extra weight to keep the back in check LOL

is that the maniflow miglia system?

Why would you want to use two silencers?

Well Yet more progress made last night,

Deseemed the rear bumper lip just need to get to grips with sanding the filler :(


I made some more tags for the cage

Same on the off side.

I also got around to making the inclined Shock mounts:




I also welded up a heep of holes through out the car which where bothering me.



Im geting very close to paint now should happen befour the end of the month :)

thanks Paul,

I have just made a set to fit my accralite pins, but I'm a bit nervous about using them as they look like they could come loose in the pin and rattle about, I'm considering bonding them to the pin somehow.

Im not sure how the Accralites pins are made but the omega Pins are only tapered for the first 20mm then the become a parallel bore of about 12mm so I turned my buttons to mirror the taper for the first 20mm and then turned another 12mm at 12mm dia so my buttons nearly tuch in the centre of the pin I figured there would be no way they could fall out then.
