Made up a mount Sunday arvo after club rego day

Now to fix it to the floor.
Meanwhile, clearenced manifold, and mocked up with spacers.

Much 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......

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.....

Battery mounted

Linkage and cable set up connected to the throttle. Pedal feels just about right, more direct than current and getting


WOT.
