Expansion tank


Well this was to be a oil breather kit but I liked it so much I'm going to have to get two...
So with a modification of fitting a tube into it to reach the bottom then fitted it as a "spit and suck" bottle.

SVA looming


This is how it looks as of the 9/4/09 and I have just been given a date for the SVA. The 28/4/09.... That's just 19 days away..
Things I still need to do is....
Finish fitting the fuel setup.
Trim the car.
Map the ECU.
Fit the seats and harnesses.
Fit the dash.
And several other things to do
I BETTER PULL MY FINGER OUT!!!

Fuel cap


After reading a post I decided to make mine a vented one, as I didn't want to drill more holes in the tank.


I dismantled it and found the best place to drill a hole in the body of the cap.


This is the part to be drilled in, if you look inside there are two slots (drill through one of them)
Then put it back together and it will vent through the lock.

Front wings



Next was the front wings, I trimmed and fitted them.
After that was the front indicators, the wiring was put through the wing bars.


Horn


Next I fitted the horn and tried it!! ( then wish I had'nt )

Horn button boss plate


This is a plate I made to fit in the boss to stop the wiring getting trapped as you turn the wheel.
The black bit is a small hole to put a wire through then fit the plate to the column, the wire is then wound loosely in the gap between the plate and the boss.
As the steering is turned the coil is tightend or slackend.

Air Filter


With the Jenveys fitted the backplate and filter was fitted.

Pipes


With the rad fitted I then did the pipework (what a nightmare!)


I don't think I did a bad job though....

Need to keep it cool


The radiator was placed inside the nose and measured on fit.
The nose was then taken off and the rad was fitted.

Nose ( I thought I was building a car... Not a frog )


Next was to trim and fit the nose cone.
Take your time with this as it will show if you don't...

Rear Lights


With the rear wing on it's time to fit the lights.






Keep the underside neat and tidy and it looks good.
