And a stroke of luck with the final part of the steering which fitted perfectly with NO modifications 😉

So thought I better do this quickly

Last few wires going on tonight then it's just getting a belt for the alternator oil in the engine. Fuel in the tank nut bolt check and we should be ready for test fire.

One step closer after a nightmare with fuel rails injectors I decided to make one rail out the two original rails think it came out pretty well.

Well after all the grief a mate looked at the pic and rang me to say you can't mug weld fuel rails as the crack under pressure they have to be brazed. 😢😢😢

So today they was all ground back as much as posable and rewelded with braze.

Just need to make a couple of brackets to hold it in now. 😜

What alternator/bracket is that? Any more pics?

 

I'll get one in a bit mate it's just a eBay job turnbuckle 😉

Lots of different sizes on there.

A lot of Motorsport and engine builders are now selling them at a hipped up fee.

 

Anyways exhaust is done now just have to tidy up again. 😢

Getting on for 26k views on this build, and if most are like me - just gob-smacked at what you putting together, with the exhaust set-up being the latest example of your skills and ingenunity.

 

Anything but boring - hats off to you!

The bracket on the alternator came with it.

It's a power lite rac065 same as a cheap denso but with some machining done and this bracket on it.

The adjuster is a eBay job. 😉

Still needs a bit more setting up and rad fitting properly before I can run it.

Hopefully got few loose ends sorted this weekend then I'll get a video for you guys.

 

Have to get the rest done ASAP so I can take it for mapping too.
