why have you got a fuse connected between the earth.. and earth? lol

It's a battery isolator. Twiddle the black knob and the connection is broken. The fuse allowed enough current for radio codes, clocks, etc. Try to start it and the fuse pops!

You've got me thinking about this now.
I'm thinking an oil breather catch tank might be a nice little mod for us.

This one is just an example:

http://bit.ly/17EWG3q

I fitted a catch tank to mine a few months back,after I'd cleaned intercooler and hoses.I've just bodged it in at the mo,its still going back into air intake.I bought a round one,but Im wishing I got a sqaure one for ease of mounting.Im going to have to make a new mount and have a play about. the other trouble was the inlets were 15mm and the breather pipes are 19mm. In theory it should help in the long run,the oil in the hoses already make me wish I fitted one sooner.

Auf,your disco just keeps getting better

Its well deserved Rob. You've done some great work and inspired thousands to become bankrupt slaves to D1s

Seriously though, your write ups are great and very helpful, please keep up the good work.

Did you order the braided stainless in the end?


I've got 5m of brand new braided stainless pipe I was going to use on my project but don't need it anymore as I don't have anything high pressure going in there now

 

[auf_wiedersehen_pet]

Not yet. What inside bore is yours?

 

[Dr_evil]

I think its AN10 or AN8 hose, will measure it up though


Got the connectors too if wanted, anodised blue and red ally from torques

 

[Dr_evil]

Just checked, its 1/2" internal

Sounds good. What sort of price are you thinking? I don't need the connectors as my OCD won't allow me to use anything other than black.

Just checked, I paid £67inc VAT for the pipe so ideally I'd like back about £60 if you're cool with that or feel free to counter ?


It is brand new and never used, was gonna use it with my swirl pot but then I decided to fit the caddy engine

I need to do a bit of measuring - not sure I need the whole 5 metres worth. I'm off up to my parents tomorrow, they live in 1955 so no LZ until Saturday. PM me I you don't hear back.

Surely you could find a use for the left overs

Something like oil cooler lines from the gearbox or new fuel lines from the tank

£50 posted?

Where in the world is the naughty step? PM me if you don't want it broadcast.

 

[Dr_evil]
