LOL

These turned up earlier this week.



Fitted them today




Took a metro scappy earlier and robbed the brand new AA battery out of it, as i think mines playing up. Alot smaller, cleaner and its black. looks alot nicer. Although i had to take a holesaw to the terminals to make the stock cables fit lol.
also rethreaded the bracket arms and chopped them shorter

and fitted my plug cover.(thanks Gary)

Purple, Black or Blue(looks pale tho)

opinions please......

purple to match pulleys or blue to match hosing if you get a black one you might aswell of kept original

How cum ur running an oil catch tank? also where have u got the return going? i was thinking of doing my interior like that but wouldnt know where to mount it. engine bays looking good where did u get the little hoses ive been looking for sum red 1s. also whats that thing on ur radiator hose?

i didnt want all the oil fumes going back into the intake i made and didnt want to clogg up the newly cleaned cultus manifold. Wot return the cam cover breather and the pcv valve( or wotever its called) go the the catch can which is vented to the atmosphere.

tbh iv been thinking of selling the interior, make me an offer if ur interested.

littles hoses? for the catch can? if so ebay lol

The blue thing is a temp sender for a temp gauge inside.

is the interior heavy? also how does it mount to the sides? i would be interested in 1 of them catch tanks if ur up for making another good work on the mani thought it was a cultus when i first looked

na its not that heavy its like 3mm hardboard. the heaviest thing is the sub and box.(which i think is quite heavy). ur welcome to take a look if ur down this way anytime.

i didnt make the catch can i brought it cheapish on ebay. i just brought all the seperate parts for the intake and made that up, and made a couple brackets.

Keep up the good work mate.

cheers,

i stopped with the clear cam belt covers as other people can make them cheaper than i could, not quite the same as i was aiming for but £ is what people are interested in.

Well the link above^ and the guy i brought mine off
(dont know if he wants to be mentioned, looks identical to above links anyway, make me doubt that he made it tbh. lol)

i couldnt find anyone anywhere that has a vaccum forming machine that i could use or even pay them to create them as i already made the mould, my old school had 1 but was too small. and i dont fancy paying £8000+ to buy one.

i tried doing it with an oven and a diy vaccum table, had 1 failed attempt but my oven isnt big enough, and again dont want to buy a large oven just for an experiment.

Hi,

I'm getting 3 of them made.
I think it is much cheaper than that said price.
To my friend Gary, I will send you one as a gift. As I will be sending you for TIG welding!

I will let you know when I get it.

Cheers
