Thought it was time I actually did an update.
Found a convenient location for a knock sensor with enough meet to drill and tap the block.
Machined up the oil pump pulley, the oil feed housing & the alternator belt tensioner bracket
Made the bracket for the dry smp pump though this turned out to have to much flex and now has a second fixing point attached to it.
Bracket welded onto the timing chain cover for the dry sump pump
Dry sump pump test fitted, you can also see the alternator half in place which is off Steves supra, but required a bit of machining to give clearance to the oil hoses
Water pump hosing modified to suit the electric water pump.
Water pump fitted in place though it no longer fits there so will need to make some new brackets for it.
My fisrt stab at a prototype sump.
My second stab at a prototype sump, this is pretty close to how the final version will be but in ally and with all the gaps filled in.
sump trial fitted & scavange pipes made up ready for welding.
belts and associated components all fitted up.
Decided it was time to try something new and inspired by Darren so purchased all the kit to make resin infusion components.
First attempt at making a plug, this subsequently got scrapped along with the first attempt at making a mold.
Second attempt at a mold being split from the part in this pic.
Component being made.
Component removed from the mold.
component (half an airbox) cleaned up and fitted to the car, this was only ever meant as a test and trial piece and has quite few problems, the next one will be much better and the final versions in carbon.
