Hi Ben ....I know this seems obvious, but I will mention it anyway, you are going to need to fit some kind of "rolled" tip on the exhaust outlet for iva
good progress by the way, it's that time of year when you feel like getting stuck in again.

Few more bits done over the past couple of nights.

Boost Gauge, I was going to replace the oil pressure gauge to save drilling another hole but I might swap that for a oil temp gauge instead so I put the boost gauge where I could see it

Next was some prop catchers, I originally planned to fit 2 sets of catchers inside the tunnel. One set at each end, but my prop is quite short and I had nowhere to mount them other than in the middle.

I got these from FastDan on LCB, they don't seem wide enough for the Haynes Tunnel I'm guessing the locost tunnel is a little narrower so I had to make some crude brackets up, while trying to work in a tunnel with the prop still attached.

I then decided to tackle the air filter location problem... Somehow I just got it to sit infront of the engine, the 73mm flexy cold feed JUST squeezes down between the radiator/intercooler and nosecone. That should hopefully be ok, just need to work out a way of mounting the air filter.

Small update, couldn't find a t - piece the right size (32mmx18mm) to join that surprise pipe up to the bottom/water pump hose so I had one made

I already had the individual pipes so I cut and shaped the smaller one and drilled the larger pipe, then my friend tig'd them together for me.

Hoping tonight I can get all the water system finished

All plumbed in and filled up with water and antifreeze. No leaks so far ran the engine for a bit but it was too late and too noisy.
