Made a piece for the oil temp sender to fit into. Didnt like any of the commercially available mountings so we made one
 Very much a before and after shot Didnt much like any of the solutions for fitting the twin oil pressure sender with the dizzy, extended pipes and questions of where to mount it...  Simply rethreaded the bottom of it so it isnt tapered as much anymore, lits it fit in far deeper, a very slight dent in the top corner and the dizzy fits right in next to it Fuel pump under the bonnet. Red top  Regulator will be in the engine bay. And the money shot, the engine so far  Should be laying on the last of the paint on the body tomorrow, and restprotecting the chassis/pans. Just gotta wait for the replacement stubs for the exhaust and finish off a few little jobs and we are ready to fire her up CANT WAIT! Sam C

Too right I am, cant wait
 Todays work: Another coat of paint on the sides, as it was a little thin in places. Looks good as is, but gonna flatten with 1500/2000 then polish up for a really nice finish  And I refinished some of the carbon, it had gone very crappy in the british weather, had horrible chalk marks on the carbon from the rain! So out with the 400 grit wet and dry, then 1000 then 1500 grit... Clean it up and let it dry (wet sanding it), then a coat of 2pack Lacquer and it looks superb! Better than new  Cya, Sam C

Quote:
Have colour sanded before, and have a proper random orbital doofer for the polishing  The carbon is going to get the same treatment, its going to be flat sanded with 1500 to knock the high spots off, and a second coat of lacquer, then same as the paint, 1500, 2000 then polish up Should look superb! Cya, Sam C
