It looks a different colour on every picture and different again in real life! Its RAL2009 if that helps.

We managed to start the water plumbing last night as we finally received the silicon hose.





Need to make some kind of supports for the pipes yet and get the header tank plumbed in too.

Yeronge !

Make sure the pipes have sort of flange on them or they blow off under pressure.

Very nice looking build Tom congratulations, and I'm looking forward to see what is coming.

Did you make sure to use special silicone sleeves to connect your carbs to the manifold? They look to be the same kind as the hose you use for water to me. If it is so, they will not resist the fuel vapors. You need special silicone hoses, fuel resistant, which have a spacial inside layer (fluorine kind of component if I remember correctly).
