Another Wreck, another Race Car.....

[Peter Jones]

Slowy working my way across the fire wall plugging up holes.

Nice work, Pete. I'm interested to see how you run all your lines, wires and cables..

[Peter Jones]

Yeah, so am I

Everything will be exposed because it's a race car and there's nothing to hide it under.

Brake lines will exit the cabin through the stock holes, remembering that the master cylinder will be inside the cabin. The line to the rear will travel along the tunnel and split in the centre of the car to each side.

Fluid reservoirs will be up in the rain tray area in front of the driver and have braided lines coming down inside the firewall to the pedal box.

Lines will be secured to the body using P clips with rubber inserts and sealed rivets.

Fuel line to remain under car but will be new pipe of suitable diameter.

Wiring will go wherever it has to. I'll be making the loom from scratch and keeping the weight down.

The only lights on the car will will brake lights and a rain light so all of that will wiring will be minimal.

I'm thinking I can can keep weight and complexity down if I go for a digital dash rather than individual instruments.

In any case my wiring skills are above average so I don't anticipate any issues. I've wired up much more complicated stuff.

That pluging hole business is my least favorite job bet youl be happy when the nitty gritty bodywork is done and your putting on nice smooth lines of paint what do you think of that special glue you can use to glue metal behind the holes to plug them instead of welding them up?

[Peter Jones]

I'll probably be using that in a few places where I want to leave an option open to run something later.

The spare wheel filler will probably be glued in if I use a fibreglass panel for that.

I've also got "Blaze Brake" fire retardant mastic for sealing the firewall where the roll cage passes through it.

Picture of donor motor just 'cos.

What's the plan for the donk, stan?

What's the plan for the donk, stan?

Ask me at SEDF. I've got lots of ideas but it'll be a while before it even comes out of the Seat.

It will be rebuilt of course.

No worries, mate.

So modest Pete! We know the truth.

Your plan sounds marvallous, will you have the car weighed when the time comes to see how all your efforts have paid off?
