Its neater and easier...I haven't seen any benefit to running an external gate

The new windscreen went in today[:p] I managed to do it without breaking this one...the windscreen guy would have shot me if I had to ask him for another[:o)]

The oil breather tank is complete, its based on the UK WRC style but with a few changes to improve its efficiency and to aid in hiding the plumbing

thats a great idea for the oil breather, where will it end up venting too ?

Hi Joeyjonsey,

It will vent to atmosphere but could be easily plumbed back to the intake

Cheers,

Phil.

so i take it you tapped out the breather hole in the side of the block ? what size is it like 3/4 or so ? even though it's venting to the atmo, it looks like you'll be venting through a braided line (where will that mount ) ? cheers

Hi Joeyjonsey,

I tapped the breather hole in the block to 7/8"unf. I will be running the vent hose to a cannister under the passengers floor

Cheers,

Phil.

except the sound haha :P

Looks niiice.

Its been a bit slow lately but have been putting together a mounting plate for the ac compressor...it needs to be out of sight so I found a nice little area below the alternator that would do the trick The jig plate is made of 3mm plate and is still a work in progress but is getting close to being ready to copy in 6mm plate for the final job[:p] I still need to find a way to mount an idler bearing to maximise the belt contact area with the alternator and ac compressor which should be easy enough when time permits
