Money well spent. I'm going to try and hide as much wiring as I can. ---------- Post added 28-08-13 at 06:55 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by dougall83 [View Post] any progress on this beast? I've managed to get a custom radiator made by Race Radiators in Melbourne. It took around 4 weeks. I received it a couple if weeks back. Had a accident at work so progress will be slow for a little while till I come right. Got a fair bit to do. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

My engineer bro dropped off tonight 1 of the 2 tanks he has been making for me. This one is the oil catch can. He is finishing off the washer tank. Undecided where to mount the radiator overflow tank yet. ---------- Post added 05-09-13 at 10:53 ---------- It's not mounted. Waiting on a k&n filter. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
