Year is not too important as long as the engine is strong and the chassis is in decent nick - the body parts will end up getting scrapped to make way for the Murtaya bodyshell, unless I buy a house when I'll look for a V4/V5 to turn into a track toy

 

What size tyres are you running Lee and is that flared arches on the front and rolled on the back?

Thanks

 

Tyres are Dunlop CR311 18"

 

Rolled all 4 but they came out a little flared !

 

Sorry what tyre size?

Thanks

 

610x220x18

 

New Sabelt 6 point harness purchased bargain price too thanks to Dave garret

keep up the great work lee
chris.

 

Cheers Chris slowly getting there !

Just gathering funds for final push to completion of this phase then gearbox and engine rebuild

 

Harness arrived today looking forward to fitting it on Friday after work !

 

Just popped down workshop after work to fit the harness , bit of a squeeze clipping clips to eyebolts , final fitting tommorow just a slight bit of adjustment on side straps and all done

 

Had a small issue with trying to fit left waist harness to eyebolt as its nigh on impossible to get your hand in to attach it to the eyebolt , but got it in the end







Next was my passenger side seat rail as I took this to work to get it modified and was ready from spraying thanks again Dave my guardian angel

 

I trial fitted a spare seat I had to see if the rail was any good but it seems a little high especially when helmet is on so may go down the route of ordering from custom cages the passenger side seat bars and get them welded in .

 

Need to locate some carbon fibre to make surround for gear gaitor easy task really and should finish off quite nice

 

Nice thread and very nice car. Thanks for showing the swirl pot installation as I am looking into doing one myself soon doing upgrades to my road car. Just one thing I am puzzled by would it not have been better to have the filter between the swirl pot and the pump. I know there is the filter on the in tank pump to stop the crap from the tank but anything getting into the swirl pot could F your Bosch 044 pump. With the wiring for the fuel pumps are both pumps running off the relay or just the Bosch?
Cheers Steve

 

Understand what your saying about filter but if needs be I could always filter into Bosch 044 from swirl pot .

The wiring for the Bosch is on a switched relay so is separate from ignition, ignition 1 ignition 2 then sep switch for high pressure pump

 

Sourced a sheet of A4 size real carbon fiber to make gear surround wasnt that expensive just less than £20 delivered.

 

Do you have a picture of the pipe connections on top of the tank please. I am looking at ordering the swirl pot, pump, lines and fittings this weekend so just want an idea of what I will need. I have seen a 2.5 ltr swirl pot that comes with the AN-6 fittings, so would just need to order the piping and connections. If you could list the connectors you used it would be much appreciated.
Thanks Steve.

 

Dont know if ive missed it but how did you make your door cards? Also what have you done with the electric window switches?

 

Have been trying to work out how you did the feed pipe from the tank to the swirl pot. Thankfully the light just came on, LOL, I take it you connected the 180 degree union to the push on AN6 rather than bending the hard pipe. You then used a hard pipe to AN6 with a 90 degree union on the return pipe. Am I right??

 

This fuel system stuff is expensive £450 spent.

 

Alex from torque supplied mine Teflon braided and fitting best part of £900 for everything

 

Yes mate correct

 

Had the 25mm rear whiteline ARB sprayed in silver and lacquered looks brand new big thanks to Dave for all your hard work yet again

Pics up later

 

 

Any clues?

 

Sorry mate yeh door cards ,I have a template to make front and rear for 4 door classics made from 3mm black plastic very light weight I gads thread on the some time last year £95 for full set delivered .
As for the window switches all the wiring was removed as I'm installing lexan windows shortly so not needed but I suppose they could be installed into door cards !

 

Carbon fibre sheet has arrived so cutting tommorow at work in my dinner hour should. Be interesting !
