Hello but I'm not building a Haynes roadster, quite

[Davey]

Ha ha booster cushion indeed, I'm 6'1" you know . It does feel good to be making some progress again. If I can get this fanimold done and then get an ECU (I want an Emerald unit but they are soooooo expensive) I can hear my baby roar! Don't worry, if it happens that way video will be shot! I've also had a look at mounting the fuel tank this morning.

Monaco looks like it should be a good race!

Dave, I just got back in from hearing my baby roar for the first time, I gotta tell you - it's a grand feeling.

Finished cutting the tubes and plate for the inlet manifold this morning so I stacked them all up together to get a better idea of what it should look like.

Here's a pic.

Davey,

They look tidy, I know where to come when I need mine doing for my bike carbs!

Cheers Ginge

I tried my hand at gas welding the ali this afternoon on a couple of offcuts.............what a bloody mess ! I'll give it another couple of goes and if I can't get it right its a visit to my mate with his professional TIG set to do the job properly, either that or buy a TIG set, Hmmm .

When you're ready I'll help you if I can Ginge ;-).

Hi Bobby its for a BOA, I'm using Honda CBR 600 throttle bodies. How much to do a fanimold for ya? Bloody good question, so far there's about £50 worth of ali involved and I dread to think how many hours it will take to complete but I've already spent about five hours on it. Perhaps better for me to ask how much would you be willing to spend and see if we can do anything around that. Trouble is its very labour intensive work and this one I'm presently making is very much a prototype. The other question is how soon would you need it?

[bobbyh]

not too soon not got the chassis rolling yet. have you machine the adaptor plate from ovle to round? cuz if not i would be able to get that done for you would make flow better.

[Davey]

Hi Bobby, I assume you mean the base plates that mate directly to the heads. No I have bored them yet, I'm just in the process of aligning them and marking them up. Before I weld them all together I'll make some drawings of the various components so it can be repeated easier if it works out. I'm away from today till Monday so nothing is going to happen till next week now. I hopefully will be able to get occasional internet access so I'll check in here for updates.
