That's all looking neat and tidy John...
Are you still planning to route your air inlet to a cooler part of the car as I see it's near the exhaust manifold at the moment.

That's really useful as I was wondering how to do it. eBay later I think!

No problem David! I'm actually very glad you mentioned it, as I had originally planned to just vent that top outlet to atmosphere, which probably would have been a disaster

Tidy Not sure who's build you're looking at Johno!

I will route some cooler air into the airbox at some point, either from the nose cone, or possibly a vent on the side of the body.
Either way it's right down at the bottom of my list of things to do, as I don't think sucking in warm air is an IVA fail!

Skov

I have just been limiting the lock on my rack an decided to follow your idea. I am finding though that the lock stop seems to be the jubilee clip and not the tube. In your photo album you have a photo of some metal looking items made by Perrin. have you used these? If so where did you purchase them and did they work?

Thanks

David

Hi David,

No, I didn't use the Perrin ones. Can't even remember what they were for, or why I saved the picture of them now!

I'm still using plastic tube with jubilee clips. I think I may have cut them down so they're no wider than the jubilee clip since the pics were taken, so my clips are probably effectively the stop too.
I don't think there's a massive problem with that.

Looking good John. Like the cover. Almost motivated to go in the garage!! Have you done a video of it moving recently? I think that might do it for me! :lol:

Don't worry Kev, I'm still here
I've been beavering away in the garage, but mostly been doing odd little jobs that aren't worth boring anybody with!

Sorry Chris, I don't have any more videos of it moving.
It may or may not have been driven further than the end of my drive, but the event if it did or didn't happen was not recorded to protect the innocent and/or guilty
