Air Ducting

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

The heat reflective ‘stuff’ has a sticky back to it and I assume is up to the task. After sticking it to the airbox as shown before I trimmed it back to suit the curve of the body. It actually looks a little lopsided, but that is because the airbox is not in the centre of the car as its offset from the centre of the engine. Until I realised this I thought that something was drastically wrong!I then used some ally tape to cover the edges and the raised rear section. This actually came out pretty well, yes I know the top edge will get bent around a bit, but I dont think that really matters! I also stuck a small bit of the heat reflective gaff on the underside of the box close to the exhaust.

Doors Plan Z

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

I have forgotten how many times I have tried to do something with the doors! All I know is that now I finally have something that works and I like! They are now on an internal hinge that also slides horizontally!!! It has to slide out otherwise the door fouls the appeture, however once it is slid out by about 3/4 inch, it simply rotates round to open up nice and wide!
