Okay guys, i ran out of large heatshrink on the last few joins so i'll get some more of this tomorrow. Other than that the new harness is pretty much complete.
I laid it on just loose and so far it seems to fit good. I need to add P-clips and zip ties etc when it gets fitted for real. Admittedly im no expert loom builder or electrician but so far so good.

Finished the harness off guys and started making up the breather pipework. I need to get a couple more fittings for the breather and then i can get the manifold finally bolted up. Then i can clip all the haness and pipework in place, then make up my fuel lines.
Also dummy fitted my filter to check how much i have to move the header tank.
Things are starting to look interesting

Stunning mate, some real hard work gone in to this , Where did you get your oil pressure remote T piece with the 90 degree fitting?

If you get the brass boss and give me your oil gallery plug i can tap it for you and supply the line and fittings.

Well proto #1 has been made of the RCM style inner wing insert. Its a slightly different style than the RCM one. Its deeper and will take a larger dia cold air feed, mine will be 83mm fed direct from one of the foglamp covers.
This proto is to my original drawing and does not yet have a feed to it.
I'll fit this first just as an insert and then make any changes that are required before adding the air feed in the bottom. Huge thanks to Ian for knocking this up double quick. I only gave him a drawing yesterday
Also another bracket that needs making... "can ya guess what it is yet?"

Double quick turnaround from Ben @ Hel Performance ensured my hose and fittings arrived for the weekend. The ones in blue are only available in blue at the moment so they will more than likely be taken to be re anodized in black to match the rest.
Oh remember that bracket?
Well now my regulator has a home

Ive dummy fitted the proto wing insert today and over all im absolutely delighted with it. It does need some slight alterations, one of which will be to make it taller by approx 20mm. But even just resting it in there with tape you can see it will fit excellent once finished.
I think this is the most exciting thing on the car in ages. Once proto #2 is made we can get the air feed right.
What do you think guys?

Made up most of the fuel lines for the parallel setup tonight. The small line im not happy with which will be redone (thats why its not Nomex covered).
Amazing how time consuming making these up is.
I was dead set on getting the blue fittings anodised black but now im 50:50.
All requires clipping in place and tightening up but i think looks alright at the mo. Once these are complete. The engine is nearing completion and wont be far away from being dropped back into the car.
Exciting stuff eh?

Cool stuff buddy, was going to make a snide comment about the blue, but really it does not detract in any way, keep it up, not far to go now.

Lol, Corona are proud sponsors of the Frayz-Engineering build process. Haha, I wish they were! Always seem to work better with an ice cold beer mate.
Jurys still out on the blue at the mo Neil. You're right I saying it doesn't look bad, but then I'm not sure it looks right either. There's no other blue on the car. Although having said that there isn't loads of blue so its hardly in your face.
Not much more to go now guys till we can drop the motor back in. Few odds and sod here and there and then the real fun stuff starts to happen.
Good times
