Rosco's haynes Build

[Rosco]

Right, got my brake lines done today, I no you can make them up your self but these are properly crimped and look a bit more factory I felt,



Also got a coat of black on the rear calipers so they match the fronts

[Rosco]

Well i sent David Rae my diff last thursday and i got it back today, well happy, so got it fitted tonight

[Rosco]

Good bit done tonight, I decided my brake pipes looked a bit bodge in copper colour so put some heat shrink over them, was a right pain in the butt, would of been loads easier before I flared the fittings on the end but turned out ok in the end





Also my dad had cut my fuel tank strap out for me today, just needed to bend it up! It came out sweet, I will get it powder coated I think

[Rosco]

Just need to trim the ends to length and sort the holes out

[Rosco]

A full day of sticky wiring on Saturday, me and my dad unwrapped the entire loom and relocated everything into position and everything into the cockpit etc, to be fair it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be, also we removed things not required like stop watch buttons, sidestand etc, we stripped the lighting back so we just have the feeds coming out of the fuse box, next job is get the lights and dash bits roughly in place and get wiried up





This morning we mocked up a new air box in card, I'm aiming to fab it up in aluminium, the problem is the top injectors, the std box is to high and out to the side, the new idea is a bit lower but not out to the side, I think if I did it as is I would need a bulge/scoop around 100mm high on the bonnet, I'm open to any ideas if anyone has any,

[Rosco]

Also I'm thinking of using a cone filter with a cold feed, mounted on the front like others have done

Change of plan haha I've just seen this idea, it clamps a foam/k&n filter between the two plates



Also the injector height could easily altered to keep it as low as possible and altered if it causes a bhp drop,

[Rosco]

Right well I've mocked up air box idea number two just to get an idea of size, looks ok, I've mocked up a bit of wire to represent the bonnet line roughly, also I'm a bit worried about induction noise with this method as it's got to be less than 99db at 3/4 throttle!!! Is there anyway of getting this rpm dropped, maybe a new power graph showing peak power at 8000 rpm say??

If needed, could the bonnet not form the top cover/half/something of the air box?
