I managed to get an rs boss for 99p a while back that fitted my aftermarket wheel but they cost silly money now so there might be a market for them....

I used two aero Aero Catches in the same position as Rosco but also used these at the front:

Not the cheapest but works well and looks clean.

Bit of an update, I've been flat out with every bit of spare time trying to get this thing somewhere near finished

I drew this up and made one, it's so I can use the bike fuel filler cap so the keys the same for the ignition and the tank



It was quite tricky to draw it up but turned out great





Started on an oil catch tank from an alu water bottle


Rosco 23rd January 2016 08:13 PM

Got some logos made up for my centre caps



Couple of bonnet location pins made



Got some front arches from MK, there proper smart, well happy with the quality of them



Decided to get some tube bent as the flat bar looked a bit naff


Rosco 23rd January 2016 08:15 PM

I used m5 rubber well nuts in the tubes to bolt them on, took me all day and stressed me out trying to get them right! Turned out ok in the end



I've not mounted them to close to the tyre as I want to be able to swap wheels early



Made some name plates for under my switches etc, there getting anodised then I will engrave them up



The next job took me almost two full days! The bulkhead, took a shot to prove I don't use cnc for everything


Rosco 23rd January 2016 08:17 PM



I've done it in two parts so I can get behind the dash easily



Inspection holes cut out



Left cover


Rosco 23rd January 2016 08:17 PM

Both covers in place



Bit of bead rolling



Everything's going to get powder coated black

Also got my brakes all bled! Pedal feels great and no leaks so I'm well happy with that

Next job is to get that wiring sorted that I've been putting off

Don't you just hate builds like this, you put the rest of us to shame.

I had the same idea about using a bike fuel cap and making a combined backing plate with a filler neck seeing as you can pick them up new for £15. I've been looking around and even the cheap ali aero items are £70-90.

Haha cheers, I will take that as a complement!

Yeah this cap came with the engine, took a bit of working out as I never had a tank neck to measure, it's real nice OEM quality too!

Was on my lathe at 6am today

Turned this up to fit the drinks bottle, bit of screw cutting to



Filter pressed on top



Then on my dads cnc for a few brackets



Bracket bent and tank in place
