Love it! Going to be very tidy and stealthy all hidden in the stock cover. Great work, as always. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I feel like I've wiring in my sleep since about 4am. Going over my connection and shrink wrapping plan. Over and over and over.

nice, very clean and neat! Cary what kind of coating is on the Triad exhaust in the background? I was considering a ceramic coating of some kind to put on mine as well.

Phil.

Earlier in this thread I have the before and after http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&...t&p=2491424
Here are some installed photos. I did black ceramic on the heat exchangers for maximum heat insulation and "chrome" ceramic on the Triad

Gave the fan a good cleaning at Rothsport with the soda blaster. Then Matt gave it a couple coats of clear. But don't forget the replace the timing marks. Both factory and the outside rim.


I strongly recommend a dab of paint on the pulley part on the front and/or painting the top of the closest fan blade to the timing mark. Paint is cheap and weighs very little (in small dabs!), and having a timing mark that you can see even when the timing is off (e.g., the blade top) can make setting the timing easier by showing you how far away you are.

After the mock-up was done I put some work into the ECU boxes. Painted it and then insulated the inside then added a rubber sheathing to help keep any water out of the box.


Why the insulation? Don't you want heat dissipation from the ECU in particular?

I like it. I actually have a white welding felt pin to do the blade with.

Do those new CV's have a gasket? If so, where did you find them? Tangerine was out the last time I checked. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Thanks Dave. Great idea on the paint.

The insulation was to create a better home for the components. The recommended location is not in the engine bay.one of the reasons given was because of the heat. The insulation is more to keep that heat out. I did preserve the vents on the bottom of the box though.

Got the tach back from Palo Alto speedometer yesterday with the upgraded chip to handle the signal from the Microsquirt. Beautiful job. And a new bezel on the front. Awesome. Now I am going to have to send them the other gauges to make them look as good.

On the back there is now an extra Input for a signal. I am told that the new chip allows for 2 different inputs so one is a backup. Now I just need to see what one will work for my new system.

Replaced the chrome trim on top of the roll bar that was scratched up by the worn out rear roof seal. The news strips went on easy and great.
Nice job on the part Mark (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) I know that they were a pain to get perfect, but the effort was worth it in the end!

This is what was scratching up the trim. The rubber is flattened out and broken down. Got it almost off but got stopped by a couple ove very soft striped out screws.

Realized that it would not look good for very long. So I decided to take it off and start over

Shot a few coats of Raptor on the roof. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. The roof was in rough shape with lots of cracks and chips. This coating is a bed liner application that is probably stronger than the original roof.

Looks good, Matt. Well worth the extra effort and time/money.

I'll bet you can't wait to drive it.....?

It's killing me. I think I will have everything done and ready for the engine to go back in Tuesday night when Cary gets back. It should be good for WCR, so maybe you can borrow a certain Rt66 trailer and tow your car up to drive with me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
