While I'm waiting for the sikaflex on the final catch to cure I thought I'd put some pictures of up of my inlet system that I finished off yesterday:

It is made up of a custom aluminium inlet manifold from FastDan on Locostbuilders, a set of ZX9R bike carbs and a Pipercross sausage filter with a backing plate to match the carbs. I just need to get round to repainting my cam cover .

You need to get your edge trim on the bonnet and make sure the catches still work. Good job though

I have used the normal rubber over centre latches, but may also add a few tapered pins to aid location.

I am keen to get some rubber trim but I'm waiting until I have a long enough list to buy from CBS to try and save on postage costs, so far it consists of:

• Self-Adhesive Non-slip grip tape
• Ultra flexible fuel filler hose + hose clamps
• Edge Trim – Seats + Bodywork
• Centre mirror
• 8mm to 10mm hose reducer * 2 - Nylon
• 4 hose finishers (2 * 8mm hose, 2 * 10mm hose) (red)
• 10mm fuel hose – 1m
• Flexible exhaust tubing

Also need to decide what parts need edge trim, what size it needs to be and what length and I am sure there will be a few other bits to add to the list...

The bulkhead panel has now been made and it was a bit of a nightmare to bend that large of a panel, I ended up having to clamp it between a 1.5m long bit of 50x50mm box and some angle iron and clamp it in a vice and then go at it with a bit of wood and a hammer.







As I always manage to do with these aluminium panels, I missed with the hammer and it has a nice crease mark in the middle where there was a massive dint, but I'm sure I can find something to cover it up and then if I still aren't happy with it when I have finished the car I will make a new panel.

like the use of button heads there Simon, they give a pro finish, I am using a lot of them in my build, little touches like that can make a difference to the overall look.....making good progress there bud, keep it up.

I have some non slip self adhesive you can have if you like. Is it for the pedals?

Thanks for the comments Kev, after working at Triumph for a year the use of quality fasteners is now engrained in me, costs slightly mort but the little things really do seem to mater.

David, the self adhesive grip tape is for the pedals, I'd be very grateful if I could have some.

You are more then welcome. I bought mine for my pedals but when Nathan delivered them he had painted them and put the grip tape on. I will dig it out and arrange to get it to you somehow. Where are you based Hexham??

Don't worry about the cost. Drop me a pm with your address and I will pop it in the post ASAP
