The rack mounts turned up today. I found them on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1511420794... 4.m1497.l2649
Very nice in one piece.

Looks nice that does. will you be adding any more bracing to it?

I had finally got the rad brackets sorted out ( mk4 ) when I spotted these 16" fans on the bay of thieves , anyway they fit the rad really well and with the mounting holes being so close to the rad brackets it seems a shame not to incorporate them at the same time. So its going to be mk5 rad bracket/fan mount combo .










Just dont like the look of the fitting kit supplied with it that runs through the rad fins

Yes Ste there will be lots of extra bracing going in all over the car.

The guy that did my injectors for the roadster insisted I watched this :confused: :confused: :confused:

Well the injectors turned up, now I need to get the throttle bodies on the mill and open up the hole from the old mechanical injectors to the new leccy ones. The other set are all new and ready to go but these are for the second car.



Brand new and never fitted from 1965.

I took delivery of two of phils rear uprights the other day, mounting plates are on the skew to take the cossie rear discs and calipers, The angle they are set at is spot on which leaves the rear bleed nipple on the rear caliper in the right position The hubs will need to be sleeved down because the bearing carrier spigot is 2mm smaller than the hole in the profile which.



The music made me press the buy it now button on the bay of thieves so I now have a dinky very nicley made pedal box from OBP complete with cylinders , reservoirs + flexi`s and balance knob for the dash :lol: It will need a very light rub with the grinder to fit between the two box sections u6 and u7.

I do like the OBP stuff it does look the part how ever are you going to IVA these cars? The reason I ask is how do you plan to get around the lack of a 'low fluid' warning system on the fluid pot?

I drilled a hole in the lids on mine and fitted standard ford sensors (sourced from the scrappy) wired them in parallel, works a treat.

We bought one of those from a vendor for the formula student car in work, for the cost of them I was greatly disappointed and the students managed to bend it on the brake test in scrutineering. It has now been consigned to the bin, so be aware they are not as strong as they look.
