havnt really done much since the last update, spending some time and money getting parts together to continue mocking up.. but today i did a few bits and pieces to keep progress going
so i finally got an exhaust manifold, alternator, dissy (which i think will be redundant now) and some drive shafts so i can work out some clearances and lengths!
so i fitted the manifold and it (just) fits which was good.. not alot of space to spare but i want the motor as far as i can foward for a very good reason
i quickly tacked the bonnet catch panel back on to make sure everything missed, which it did, also fitted the radiator to check for bonnet clearance.. got heaps!
also threw the shafts in to see if they missed all the bars i spent so long bending and the answer, thankfully is yes!
then later today i found some aluminium sheet that i forgot i had, so i got a bit excited and began making the air director for the radiator..
the rad itself will be std mini aluminium china spec, i just might have to modify the top tank to clear the bonnet, no big deal
its coming together quite well i think, havnt really finished off the frame yet, il get the engineer to have a look at if first but im pretty happy that everything fits so far, but the hard part hasnt started yet.. watch this space
cheers
