Made up a mount Sunday arvo after club rego dayImage
Now to fix it to the floor.

Meanwhile, clearenced manifold, and mocked up with spacers.ImageMuch better. I fitted 2.25" studs to out the carbys, but had to cut them all down by 15mm, sheesh, all 12 of them!

All the bits are now in hand...... Image
No club runs until September so no more excuses.

Just a thought on the bus. Might be an idea to pull it off and put some heatshrink over most of it. Saves accidently shorting it with a stray spanner (or someones steel capped boots). If its painful to get back out, a couple of layers of PVC tape would do the trick.

Cheers,
Harv

Yes Harv. I wrapped it in Nitto tape, then heat shrink OTT. So double insulated. I will also sheath the cable running under the floor mat in heater hose, to be sure, to be sure.....
