Just got off the blower to paul (P.O.R)

Looks like i will be able to get a fuel tank made up for the car so looks like i am going to be putting in ALOT more hours at work.

Also looking for cozzie breaks if anybody knows were there are any going cheap.

I have cosworth brakes
Pitty am not selling them mate. Expect to pay about £150 for them with pads and discs - Out of interest how much for the tank?

Between £100 and £140

100 being just a tank and the 140 being baffled (think thats how you spell it)

He will do it so it takes the space of the spear wheel well and it will be big enough for me to use as a road car to.

They are cheaper on e-bay but i can get this one made to fit my car and if i have any problems Paul should be able to help.

Id defo take Paul (POR) up on that, yes you can get cheaper but it might be poor work and at least pauls one is custom made how YOU want it. Bargin - Id get it baffled and get him to put some safty foam in it too

The foam one is over £200 and i am trying to work on a budget.(bet that goes out the window )

But your right pauls work is top quality

You can get universal saftey foam cheaper mate am sure, try DemonTweeks

This is what the tank will look like once in.(picture sent by P.O.R)

There would be enough space for a spear wheel.

Used to be into these a while ago. I think I have a spintex supercharger somewhere in my dad's garage. Dead easy to fit, silly power. Will only fit 24V V6 though. (Differnet pullies on the 2.8). Will c if I can find it!!!

PLEASE DO

Have you got this running again yet or is she still poorly ??

Not running as yet will be VERYSOON.

Think i have all the gauges i need now

Bat condition

amps

oil pressure

oil temp

vac

fuel consumpton (what i will need that for i dont know)

And i nice big Mallory rev counter with rev limiter and shift light RPM upto 11000 not that i will get that high.

Just need to know how to wire them all up.

Engine should be running again by weds 8th of march.

Youve nicked my smiths dials! lol

May well of GOT THEM FOR FREE of a mate who didnt need em.

been working on the motor all day and finaly got the bottom end off so i can go about sorting the big ends.



JUST TO THINK A LITTLE THING LIKE THIS BUGGERED THE ENGINE.
The marks on the shells are why it was rattling.




BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE.

Shells sit inside the cups(things you can see with bolts on) one of these are a little to tight which is stopping the engine fro turning over so should be done by weds.

Things are starting to move forward at last might even have a lsd and other bits in the next couple of weeks if i can sort some things out.
