Perf sheet for the baffels. First bit looks like this. Have to make a channel to fit it.

[eyepeeler]

Channel tacked in. Worked well.



Both panel are cut with safety edge fold for stiffness.



Nice fit.



Will make 2 layer perf plate to fit on top for the returning oil. Similar to this, with the other layer about 50mm above.

Good engagement of the starter. I've had that in since machining the mount and never known if it was good or not. Great to see it worked out ok.

Nice. 
That flywheel/clutch is pure sex. 

Fr0ck yeah, getting exciting now!!

Good to see Quicktime has made a larger window in the side of the bellhousing for clutch lines, mine is a 2cm gap and impossible to get a spanner through! You need to feed the lines out before bolting up.

What size line are you running to the supply side of the pump?

Hey Sam, -12 from the tank to the pump
-10 from the pressure out on the pump to the remote oil fitting and onto the block which its -8 to M16 X1.5
2 @ -10 & 1 @ -12 from the pan to scavenge in on the pump
And lastly -12 from scavenge out to the tank

All fuel lines are -8

Love the video you posted from Malalla. That was really good. Off the line looked fun!!

Okay cool that sounds fine - are you not running an oil cooler?

 

RE video, cheers mate, loving just being able to drive the car without it breaking, going to make some changes to the rear end to help with steering mid corner and exit - also looking to change my gearbox ratios as they are a bit tall 1-3 which makes it hard to get off the line.

 

Wont be long now and you'll be out there yourself!

Had some help tonight putting the diff and engine back in, Dave Mc A9X868 dropped by to say g'day. Great chat and great help along the way. 1 bolt just didn't want to play the game and Dave and I had a bastard of a time getting the holes lined up to get it done. Got it in the end.
Will take a few pics later on.
Great to catch up Dave, as always.
