Are they grommets or just really small cable glands. Perfect for running your battery cable through the firewall at any rate!

Cable glands are great for passing wires or hoses through panels. I used them quite a bit on my car build. Jaycar sell them pretty cheap

Been a while since an update... been super flat out but have made some progress on a few things,

Mounted my fia kill switch,


Fitted my air flaps to the inside of the car, Made a blanking plate for the heater box entry. And covered behind the dash with our insulation.


Fabricated the dump pipe of all dump pipe's of course as you know nothings simple on this car, Baz convinced me to give an old proven theory a shot. This theory is based on the exhaust flow from the rear housing. According to a well published book (which has many proven facts from drag cars through to f1's) is that the spiraling air from the rear exhaust wheel will keep air speed up as it enters the dump pipe, Which can work against the rear exhaust wheel in rapid rpm changes. So to cut the story short, if theory proves us right I should get some better response out if the hair dryer. Anyway we sat down and done a mock up to see if we could get it to work and came up with this. A tapered (from the inside of the flange) 2.75in to 4in cone into a 4in mandrel bend and back to 3in again... after around 6 hours this is where I got.

I firstly needed the flange, which I was happy to make. But after seeing a couple of mates they decided to short cut me by drawing up the flange from the gasket (within 3mins ) and then chucking a piece of 10mm stainless in there CNC Mill not the normal practice, usually laser cutting is adequate but they know how impatient I get.


After some die-grinding, cutting and swearing we had it tacked.


And now the welded product with the test fit.

Is that your high octane fuel in the black can

Just an idea for a jump start, run two separate leads from battery out to an inconspicuous point, then have a receptacle on the end. Google caterpillar jump start receptacle. just make sure you have a set of leads with a receptacle on one end.

I could possibly sneak you out two receptacles from work if you wanna do that

Keen to see the camping dryer conversion, I'm a bit over trying to win a sss heater from Tokyo 2u.

haha yep all the special juice! cheers man, I reckon I should be ok though... because i dont have poppers or anything stupid like that i'll just use a jump pack on the inside if i ever need too!

Gave the rocker cover a detail, Drilled and tapped the breather holes for speedflow/aeroflow fittings, was going to do a catchcan but caved and kept with the oem sealed system... If i run into any breathing problems i'll look at that down the track! Used stainless washers and dome nuts around the rocker cover.


Made my new front wiring harness as per our spec... except I made an alloy bracket and machined up some bosses because I could....!

That's what I was planning for mine and how I did my old 16. However both times i'm planning on using the ignition barrel on the column as the switch, then the separate start switch elsewhere. Looks good though mate, bet it feels good that its started finally!
