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

[Davey]

Quick update:
I've been down the workshop for a few hours this AM and have now cut and machined the short pipes to take the itbs and I've made a mounting plate out of 6mm ali plate to carry them. I've also cut the six pipes to take the air flow from the bottom of this plate to the inlets on the head. I've yet to make the plates that will actually be mated to the head, they will be made from 50mmX19mm ali flat bar so that after all the welding is done they can be milled flat to mate with the heads. Here's a couple of phone pics, first one shows the itbs on the mounting plate and the second is the drivers view of the power unit. The itbs will stand about 7" above the bonnet line once they have 50mm trumpets attached .

Now its time for the Monaco GP and a couple of tinnies!

Nice work there Davy, nice to see another one making some progress

Personaly I have not done a lot since my return from Stoneleigh

You are going to need a nice power bulge for those & perhaps a booster cussion for your seat

Likewise, sitting here drinking a brew & waiting for the Monaco GP to start

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.
