Kermit II (K-II) Triple rotor rebuild project

[Sicknote]

The other job was to fix the gearbox cover into place, Balky is our welding man for the job.    











I had Roger tig weld the selector release bracket that we made a few days earlier onto the tunnel cover this morning.

And I thought I\'d better take a group shot of the team involved, a great bunch of people you couldn\'t hope to meet.


We\'re all very dedicated to our cars and are fundamental to make these awesome projects a reality.

PMSL, I have a suspicion this is indeed WHY i\'m single !!!   lol

Well I\'m sure many of the people following your build will be offering you use of their wives/girlfriends/boyfriends for a ride along

I\'d do a swap, my missus for this car.

The throttle pedal went on today (no pics as I started feeling ill)

We put the rear stansions and wing on together with the rear lights... starting to look like a car again !!  

Only prob is we\'re not happy with the way the rear wing sits so the stansions will have to be re-made with a more aggressive angle.

This weekend the wiring commenced.    


Most of this on the floor is being binned, we just strung it all out incase there are any connectors that are required.











These are the two protagonists on the wiring case 1!!  








Sooo neat, you can\'t really make out that the fueling system wiring is complete.  




And it all continues today.

I can\'t wait to see this beast up and running on track. Although I\'d hate to be the one behind it when it starts popping flames out the back! A good deterrent for people trying to overtake!

Not many pics for a lot of wiring work.. soz.


This is obviously the best way to wire an FD !!!  





This is the hub of the wiring, took plenty of working out and planning.  





And laid in the car (will be higher and fixed to the bulkhead) together with the battery nicely positioned on the tunnel.

This is the new lighter and smaller race alternator, would have been MUCH smaller if K-II wasn\'t going to be
road legal, but this little baby still knocks out 120 amps.

Phase II of the wiring proved to be VERY problematic

The new MoTeC looms don\'t match up to the older ECU\'s even though theyre still labeled M600 and M800, thus ALL the pins had to be
taken out of the blocks, tested and re-routed, this took UBBER amounts of time.





This was Geoffs re-routing diagram.   loooooool !!!

[Sicknote]

Once all the pins were put back in the correct places the loom could then be prepared for installation





And in it goes

[Sicknote]

And lastly I installed the boost rotary switch, Sparco extinguisher kit and \'kill switch\' into the dash.

[Sicknote]

The external Fire Extinguisher and Kill switches are now installed and ready to be wired in.

And just finished the drivers and passengers floors and sat them in place, looks quite neat if I do say so myself.

It\'s all looking rather marvelous! :Giggle

Thanks Brett, can\'t wait for the wiring to be finished this weekend, just the fuel rails to come in from Oz and to make the
brackets for the Electric water pump and alternator then we can strip her down for Zircotec, polishing and the shell to be painted.
