All black rims.

 

Hope to get some hoses done when i`m at work.

Will use Teflon hoses and crimp fittings on everything..

 

a build of this calibre deserves the best JIC/AN fittings available...

125psi burst strength, good to north of 450°F depending on the o-ring

 

how close are you coming to starting this beast up?

 

While the consensus seems to be black, I that is what I prefer for looks. On a race car I would go with the natural silver as it is easier to do crack detection.

I just noticed your front strut bar. I bought that each same model for my FB years ago; while nice and light I found that the center aluminum screw could not stand up to the tower lateral loading and bent. Fault is that weakest link is mid span.

 

No, use Goodridge. I used the following on my fuel lines; very light, very tight bend radius and smooth internals

New Super Flexible PTFE Lined Fuel and Oil Hose

Choose high-temperature Stainless Braided Type 811 Hose (500°F operating temperature vs 300°F for standard hose) or lightweight Aramid Braided Type 910 Hose (average of 43% lighter than standard hose). Both types feature a special smoothbore PTFE liner which offers great flexibility, larger ID, compatibility with all types of racing fluids, resistance to fuel vapor penetration and higher resistance to vacuum collapse.

very cool, lot of work into the car

 

updates?

 

Any more pics!!!!!!!!!

 

2months and still no updates................................so sad

 

all that time spent on the car is paying off. looks great.

 

Been along time now..

Have been busy at work.

But I bought some wheels for the car, so I can move it around the workshop.

Wheels are 8"x18", so I have room for very wide wheels..

Also started on the ducting of the front brakes, not done yet.

 

Have started on the exhaust too, not much room...

So I hope I can shield the intake for the exhaust temp..

 

Got some parts today.

The CF dash is some piece of art..










Got a Sparco wheel with snap off boss, and hood locks.






And I got my fuelcell today, this wasnt what I hoped for..

The fuel pump braket on it was welded on the wrong side.
And there wasnt any one way valve fitted.
Fuel level gauge was missing.

So I was abit disapointed about this, because of the high price on this..

 

oh my goodness!! where did you get that CF dashboard?!!! that is beautiful!!

 

Someone I know here in Norway makes them..

Here are some more dash pics..

 

That Dash is Beautiful! does the guy sell them to strangers?

 

I think he will post some info on this later on..

So I would think he will sell them to strangers..

 

The guy will only sell to strangers if they behave nice....

 

nice to see updates. i was wondering where this thread when.. btw im drooling on my screen over that dash.

 

Thanx..


Hope to get some work done now. been busy at work the last few months.

 

glad to see its still coming along nicely, and to see you finally found a LHD dash hahaa

 

Very nice work. I applaud your dedication.
