Nice work.

 

Is that radiator mounted on rubber though? Looks solid mounted.

[alexcrosse 124]

Yep, sits on the aluminium at the bottom with a layer of rubber inbetween, then there is 2 rubber grommets at the top too

[Mad Scientist 106]

Good good!

 

Have to say though, mine did 2000 miles solid mounted with no issues. It's all wibbly wobbly rubber bush mounted now though!

 

[alexcrosse 124]

Its certainly not wobbly! but its vibration proof, grommets are great for that with sprint washers, done the same on my dash as thats billet aluminium bodied and I don't think would appreciate solid mounts!

[alexcrosse 124]

Coolers mounted now

 

Threw the bumpers on in a shonky fashion to quickly check they fit, all is well

[kee 22]

looks good, is the rad custom?

[wardy18 33 1 Cars]

Nice tidy build Alex, great work.

 

Where did you get your gearbox mount made? Looks much sturdier than std and more suited than std without having the plate to sit the battery on.

 

I need one :0)

[Cameron 16]

Was made by Alex earlier in the thread!

 

It's on page 8.

[alexcrosse 124]

[alexcrosse 124]

[Cameron 16]

FINALLY!!

 

What sizes are the pistons?

[alexcrosse 124]

ones about the size of your penis, the other your ego

[welshpug 1,661]

and how about the middle sized ones?

[Cameron 16]

14" and 27" respectively? DANG.

 

What about the middle ones, girth of your mum's anus?

[alexcrosse 124]

They fit... which is good.

 

 

Also replaced os driveshaft.

 

Cheers,

[Cameron 16]

[alexcrosse 124]

[alexcrosse 124]

Ok, looms fully terminated, was going to make the battery mount last night too but then realised I was at the pub.

 

Chassis front, chassis rear and engine looms all ready to go into control box.

 

[maxirallye 2]

Connectors look neat! I am planning to do something similar on my car, what make are they? Thanks

[alexcrosse 124]

lol, not sure mate... Ill find out for you

[EdCherry 34 1 Cars]

Im interested in what connectors you used as well, looking nice similar to the Canon ones I've been looking at. Coming on well.

[alexcrosse 124]

they're these... various sizes on rs components. Not sure that includes the pins you will have to look. Only suitable for inside though, use deutsche autosport or MIL for bulkhead.

switch panel is all together, would be nice to have the spagetti behind all done this week but we will see. Then next week might be able to put some power through it and check modules and sensors are working
