The oil cooler has already been mounted twice, so why not a third time for luck! This time I have bolted it directly to the bodywork, as in the photo below.

Oil Cooler Ducting
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008Air Lines
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008After staring at the previous brackets for the pump and accumulator I decided they were naf and started again! this time a lay the accumulator down on its side and bolted it to an ally plate. I made new pillars for the pump, this time with spanner flats on, and again bolted it to the plate. I do however need to drill lightening holes in the plate, but I will leave that for now!
I then set about the air lines. I am using PFE lines -4 PVC lines hoes and ally fittings. These all look pretty snazzy as they are anodised blue and black.
Rear Support Frame
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008So after the very small start on the rear frame it was time to continue on. I finished turning up the threaded inserts and then set about cutting up tubes. Fortunately the tube diameter was the same as the air ‘whizzer’ so grinding the ends to suit was not actually too bad! This was the welded up. It did pull ever so slightly but it still all bolted up and goes on so nothing I cant handle! The cross bar n the top of the frame is a redundant structure, but there just to give extra strength in the chance of an impact.
