ive already asked about this too
funny, i was at one of my centres last week to do a diag on some modern shitbox, and in for MOT work (front slave cyl and shoes) was a red/white splittie, i nearly pissed myself lol
stunning bit of kit, funny thing was, the splitty was in the car park next to a F430 spyder, everyone was crowded round the splitty

brief update, had another small delivery, this is everything for the brake system until its up and running and put disks on the rear.
Started running the aeroquip hose for the dry sump system. The socketless fittings are hard to get on but i found if you put the ends in hot water, they then go over a treat. The fittings from torques seem spot on, and their service is great
will be getting all the fuel fittings from them too
Also started modifying the fuel rail and sorting out fueling.
Im modifying the fuel tank and adding an extra one so will be running twin tanks.
Also waiting on my seats, i went for the cobra historic type in the end (not the colour)

here we go again...
Oil system is now pretty much finished
Finished all the brake lines, full stainless steel front to back. Will get photos of underneath at somepoint.
Also have redesigned my pedal box, more photos to follow,
Had all my fuel fittings delivered this evening, this is everything except the fuel regulator which is on its way from Japan
2 ltr swirl pot
Bosch 044 fuel pump, non return valve and high flow billet filter for some serious bhp
Chucked the second tank in for size, will get the new unions welded on this weekend along with the filler neck.
Oh and the seats, not bolted in just yet but they are really comfy and supportive..... if you can fit in them
Just want it finished now , but i can see the end so will plod away

Cracking work mate, only criticsm I have is that the oil container for the dry sump should as close to the engine as poss and not in the boot.
So either in the engine bay somewhere or tucked up in the passenger foot well

The tank should be as low as possible to help with centrifugal forces.
Also weight distribution, as the tank will help level the weight from the driver across the axle

Yeah thats as close as possible. Its way too big for underbonnet & soaking myself in hot oil if something happens, isn't really something i want to experience.
With the pump and size of hose im using ive been assured i will have no problems. Plus its only a small car so its really not that far, think about 2mtrs on that pipe run.

updates keep coming, been working over the bank holidays so not much progress but got abit done last sunday.
Work on the fuel tanks
sweated out the original oulets on both as i wont be using them as they are too small and im having the fuel lines inside.
Drilled the holes for the new outlets
As i dont want to cut the bodywork, the second tank will be filled from inside the boot. This has now been revised an am going to cut the shell to put the filler on the outside.
Just got to braze it all together now and spray them up.
Few random pics
Yesterday started running the fuel lines

aghh updates updates updates
crank sensor bracket purchased for the bargin of Ł10, ford wanted Ł70 plus vat
Had to modify the floor pan to fit the starter, all painted and fitted up now
Ordered all the silicone hoses thanks to Paul at Roose motorsport
JCS clips... not cheap
Now got to make the pipe between the intercooler and the inlet plenum
Sard fuel regulator from Japan
Finally manned up and ordered the ecu from Mark Shead @ M A Developments, vipec v88
just waiting for it to arrive.
Also had to get creative, made this thermostat housing to bring the hose out straight down the side of the block, lathe + block of ally and ta da
Just resprayed the boot and floor pans where ive made modifications, now just need to finish off the fuel tanks and spray them then can refit all the fuel pump etc
That all for now, hopefully more to follow shortly,
