Quote from: leeroy_25;859658Glad to see things coming along.. That flex heatshield you re using.. Is it self adhesive? Does it have a glass fibre backing layer for insulation like gentex? I need to get some more of that stuff. The last stuff I had was not self adhesive. But very good.


Hello fella, you can select either as they make it in-house, mine IS self adhesive but it\'s expensive stuff, a 900 x 550mm
sheet is about £80 but for the rotaries I think it\'s essential when racing as we run so damn hot !!!   :)

Hmm.. might look into it.. I think the gentex I used was similar but I was lucky to get some offcuts from my work! I like the idea of the wrap on the LIM. Much neater than heatshields
I want to do the inner chassis rail too and need to make some heat reflective braids for various wires and pipes near the exhaust run.
Just another spot on your pics. Have you had some injector holes reducer shims made for the secondaries? If so did you get spares if not where did you get them off the shelf. I know I need some although I have not measure up yet.
Cheers

I\'ve given the adapters that I got with the rail kit to the engineers, wether they make some to put into the LIM or
they use them I\'m not sure but at the end of the day it only needs to be a welded-in tube.  :)


I\'ll be wrapping the entire tunnel and fabricating a steel heat shield for the brake master cylinder area, heat is our enemy !!  :)

Just a few pics of the previous nights work.

The pain in the arse fuel rail and injectors situation now almost finished







The gearbox tunnel cover now Zircotec\'d





And most of the tunnel and master cylinder now coated.

Thanks Ant, so is there holiday digs in Florida for me ???   ;)

db2boy

Sure. I charge 1 x 20B block per 2 weeks of sunshine and fun. Please note, this can\'t be sub-divided into 13B blocks.

Sure new seals, bearings, e-shaft are required as a non-refundable deposit though.

I was just thinking about that night in Guildford, that\'s where I drove off with the geezer still on my bonnet !!   pmsl  :Giggle

Oi! Stop reminiscing you two, and get back to work on the car Dave :Giggle

You can\'t even be thinking about time off in Florida until you\'ve got that car completed. We want to see it on track this year :Thumbs-up

I think someone should hold your passport until you\'ve finished to stop you getting these strange ideas about holidaying ;)
