Thankyou gents the support is much needed! My motivation isn't the best!!
Just an update for the past few days
I've chopped out the old fuel filler, and made up a plate for the new one to sit on
It's going to sit proud of the bodywork, riveted on, because racecar.
Moving on, I've struggled with various OEM throttle cables. Either being too long, too short or not having the right bulkhead fitting on them. So I bought a universal one. Works a treat
It basically has two fittings to hold the outer sheath steady, so any pedal action is transmitted only via the inner cable. It comes with various fittings, one of which is perfect for the K20a throttle body. I soldered the OEM pedal nipple on. I was amazed at how strong this is, it took my body strength and didn't pull through!
I've also fitted a new clutch slave cylinder, and made up a -3AN braided line to suit
This runs to a bulkhead connector at present, I'll make the interior line to the master cylinder once I've got the pedal fabricated (something I started ages ago).
Finally I've abandoned the EP3 shifter idea and gone with the K-tuned billet shifter, that should be here in a week.
I'll run that with some new cables, through the bulkhead and hopefully have my gear system finished in a week or so.
Next jobs are:
- Clutch pedal
- Get brake system bled
- More body prep
