Hey lincoln good stuff,you cossie assie....pete

Hi Lincoln,

I found some 12mm square wire, which is pretty close even down to wire gauge if you remove every second upright. It's a bit fiddly but is hard to tell the difference over original. Just can't remember what it was called, maybe it's chicken wire, but it's pretty common, I'm sure Bunnings etc would have it. I have included a rough picture of it. Hope this helps.

Did you make a pattern or template of you roll cage by any chance?

Cheers Matt

Haven't been to Melbourne for a few years, do have some family down there I probably should visit though! There isn't really anyone local here (Northern NSW) I would have to trailer the car to The Gold Coast or Brissy I would imagine but I would rather have a go myself, at fitting that is. So are you saying you would be able to make a copy of yours if required?

Just found a picture of the finished product in my xrti.

Ok I managed to make some mesh to cover in the sides of the lights. Just got to paint black and urethane them in.





Also fitted the fire system. Will cut of all the cable ties once the urethane (clear) has set.





Also fuel tank progess. You are looking at the bottom of the tank. I have two sumps on the side each feeding (via a carter pump on each - chosen because they can be run dry and are reliable) an internal central surge tank which will then feed a pair of 044's. The internal tank will have some holes up the top to return to the main tank internally and the return from the engine in the top.

I am thinking two internal baffles inside the tank and 5 x 12mm holes top and bottom along their length.

Any ideas on if I am doing anything bad? Tank is 120mm deep and sumps are further 100mm deep. Tank holds 70lt or so.











Delivered engine to John Sidney Racing so waiting on the call when it is set up on dyno!

Went for a SPA 4lt alloy electric one from Revolution Racegear. $1200 I think.

Make sure you buy some extra tubing (if it comes with 5m its not enough). Hassle them to trow it in to sweeten the deal ($10 a metre normally).
