Alright philly
Yeah im hoping it will help a little with cooling but ive other ideas for forced air (pics coming soon on that). If you look back at the start of the thread you can just about see the side air vents in the very first pics already there when i bought the shell. In fact thats the only reason i bought it (ebay bargain) .... The car was originally going to be a twin engine and he had spent some time on these. The vents were cut out with a plasma cutter so has a very quality finish, the the side where folded in and joined with sheet metal and tacked in place he had spent time smoothing them off although they need a little more. i cant take credit for the work however i will be reeping the benifits of someone elses hard work hehehe!!!
cheers flappy. i wanted to have a go at a few things to see if they work or not!!!
Spent time on the weekend fitting the front brakes and cooling system. See if you can spot what was wrong with the calipers in a couple of the pics ( its been sorted before you ask)!
Itheing it looks really smart with the brake disk cover on what do you recon?

Front part of the coolant system, I routed the lower rad hose through the small corner gap in the frame and the top rad hose diagonaly across the back of the tank. I wanted to have the hoses that attatch to the rad at the same angle. think it looks good that way

Ive Just got my gear selector lever. Ymaha wanted £100 for a little bit of metal! that trusty auction site helped again! Wjilst trying to attatch the linkage i noticed it was way too short. Has anyone had this problem and had to make up some kind of bracket? ive put the cable to its absolute adjustment but it still seems way to short.

61 downloads See what iu mean? this pics showing cable at largest adjustment and still the gear lever doesnt fit where the original does. Have i done something wrong or am i just being thick!!?
Attatched the throttle cable too. Do you have to use the original cable mount on the engine as it sticks up a fair old way? Has anyone had a go at moving the bracket? Possibly to much work just for a cosmetic thing aye?
cheers people

p.s if you didnt find what was wrong check the second pic down, i built up the calipers the wrong way so the bleed nipples were facing down! yeah i know, idiot!
