As I have not been doing much on the car lately due to low funds I thought I would make something I've been meaning to for a whole that I see on an rs500 touring car,

Cosworth yb tool tray







Still needs to be zinc plated as its made from 1mm mild steel, going to make a little job lot of them and doing a cvh one for Gus

Nice work Marc.

If you can find someone with a folder you could cut out 90% of the welding

Sticky.

iTrader: (4)

Very nice Marc....

Hopefully you won't have to use that tray too much.

M K

iTrader: (9)

Yeah I know mate, going to try a small vice folder to fold both the long sides so I only have to weld the short sides and legs or might buy a 2ft box &pan folder that I've seen then I can fold the lot & just weld corners and legs


We both know that's not gonna be the case as there's always something to do but yeah hopefully tinkering rather than repairing

Punter

oi fook pig where is my tool tray

M K

iTrader: (9)

New pan & box folder comes tomorrow now mate

M K

iTrader: (9)

Just waiting for your payment of Ł99 million and 99 pence then il get started

JonnyBravo

Nice one Marc. We have a 3 foot folder, makes jobs like that really easy, I really do need a guillotine though as chopping up large sheets is slow progress

M K

iTrader: (9)

Yeah I know what you mean,

Will use a water jet cutter for my repeat stuff, my box pan is 2ft max width

Forgot to update that the new custom intercooler was ordered with pro alloy the other week and should be with me in another week or 2,

Going to be the exact same size as the pro alloy radiator, this time with the thicker 65mm core and the inlet and outlet coming out the top of the cooler at 90 degree bends,

I will then seal the cooler against the rad and make some ducting to direct all airflow through the front bumper through the cooler and rad

iTrader: (2)

Can you use the tray when the turbo hanger is on or will it foul,

M K

iTrader: (9)

Should be fine mate, my doesn't have a turbo hanger as yet, that was just a test tray,

When I make the next I will test with leads on and hanger as mine is also on cops which sit lower

Punter

99 million and 99 pence really thats mates rates.

really how much?

M K

iTrader: (9)

Got me box and pan folder today, same as this except mine is black an white

Gonna see what else I can make for the fiesta with this lol



Only had a scrap of small sheet left so folded up and welded a small tray to try it out and it came out great,

Minirotty

Done myself another tool tray as I wasn't happy with the original





Making bits like this keeps me busy when I'm not doin much on the car itself and I learn more new skills

Big thanks to Jay for sorting me out with 1 of his high torque starter motors and thanks to Dave for the info on it and wiring boots

New starter test fitted



It's a very very close fit with a big wing set up but I'm going to fully seal this terminal and put it on a mil plug 4" down the line so the nut and stud terminal can be seal in heavy duty and not risk of it touching anything,





And lastly I got my new custom intercooler through from the guys at Pro Alloy so thanks to them for a lovely product and fast turnaround as always

Just need to get it fitted when I get a chance







Will update some more once I've fitted it

Thanks
Marc

Looking great Mark, Love the final tool tray with the holes in it!

How did you swage the holes?

And for the starter motor, have you thought about getting a " half " nut and shortening the threaded stud a few mm, or is it already a slim nut on there?

Looking great as usual Mark.
Gary

M K

iTrader: (9)

Hi Gary,

Cheers for the comments mate

I have a set of dies I use in a hydraulic press or vice to swage the holes

As for the starter, it's currently still a full nut with full stud so I may look into it

JonnyBravo

Nice work Marc.
