yantosh Posted May 7, 2020 Author Posted May 7, 2020 clutch cover looking bit diff from stock, works for me finger prints are getting worn out too ignore the Dyoo,cauti sticker , new livery not going on till it nearer completion 3 Quote
yantosh Posted May 10, 2020 Author Posted May 10, 2020 i,ll put this here as proof of what i planned... if i,m going to fail i,ll do it spectacularly and with an audience rear header plan 3 Quote
yantosh Posted May 16, 2020 Author Posted May 16, 2020 bends for the tricky bit are ordered, but not here yet, so make a start on the curvy bit 8 Quote
yantosh Posted May 17, 2020 Author Posted May 17, 2020 stuck a wee tab on, easier than holdin it with one hand and trying to position the next bit sorted clamp rings made fits fine made a filler cap damper going no place now 7 Quote
yantosh Posted May 18, 2020 Author Posted May 18, 2020 had someone on custom fighters ask if i could get enough corner lean with that pipe .... I reckon so (even with sag etc) 3 Quote

vizman Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Definitely the most productive small workshop ever.... 4 Quote
yantosh Posted May 20, 2020 Author Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) glued together the bit of header that bolts to the head , shop bought bends weren,t going to cut it tight fit, but it fits i did a bit more to the other pipe, but made a cunt of it and chopped it off Edited May 21, 2020 by yantosh pics not showing 4 Quote

yantosh Posted May 21, 2020 Author Posted May 21, 2020 welded rings to the top of the bellmouths and had a colleague rad them in a cnc lathe 1 Quote
yantosh Posted May 22, 2020 Author Posted May 22, 2020 plenty better welding guys out there, but i,m reasonably pleased with myself. still needs two springs to hold these parts together, but they ordered front header still needs some work 3 Quote
yantosh Posted May 24, 2020 Author Posted May 24, 2020 not the best welding weekend... mask has decided that it wont always stay auto darkened when welding stainless tube with no filler, had to settle for just tacking the rest before I destroyed the full job . Works fine for Ally, but the gas run out ...too fast, hooked up a new bottle....hisssssssssss.... think regulators cracked on the upside, both headers in one piece, and the collector started and the ally water pipe started 7 Quote
