I need to get some custom radiator hoses made,

anyone know anyone who can make them?

They mostly do industrial sizes but could give CCH hoses in soham a try. Have used them for bits and pieces for tractors and stuff before and seems top quality stuff. They would probably be able to sort something for you.

You do realise that once this is all together I'm going to rob your keys when you not looking and take it up the road and back

put the top fill reservior end on and sealed it up with some silicone



ill leave it overnight, but it should work!

ghetto car repair, whittle style

silicone is that it?

the silicone is just to seal it

theres these metal 'tabs' which fold over the sides to hold it down

I tested it earlier, and it holds water

ill have to wait and see if it holds pressure though...

If that silicone dont work you could try some CT1 its stronger sticks to everything and can even be used under water ......

Its my B day today ;-)

woke up massively massively hungover but got to work on the car anyway

engine in, wired, oil lines done, fuel lines done, vac lines done, throttle cable in done, pedal box in

pretty much its done now, and should run

All i need now is some custom rad hoses and a boost pipe going from the turbo to the intercooler

and to fit the brake lines from the pedal box





also this came in the post



and everytime a boot is opened, my dog will jump in it

Looking good dude Really coming together now.

Can you say 'tight squeeze'?

haha asuming they the 1s that was on edition? you gonna be running adjustable balance front to rear? bet it will do bloody endo's

Its running a pedal box.

fronts wont be adjustable

I took out the rear load compensator valve, and ill put in a manual one somewhere in the cockpit

I need to get some lines made up with banjos on both end

anyone know where?

i should think MV have a tool to do that for you, most garages should be able to do it tbh.

thank god you stopped complaining after that bk lol its like having a kid in tow! brakes looked swishhhh
