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

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

except the sound haha :P

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

Hey Phil,
are those cam belt covers dipped or real carbon?

I managed to get some of the hoses for the ac done this weekend...the compressor to condensor hose, the condensor to reciever drier hose and the reciever drier to firewall hose. The reciever drier is now also mounted in its final position just needing a shield to shield it from rocks and whatever else that the tyre might throw at it

Hi Paul,

Its just a case of hunting around...my hoses are a combination of 2wd Cossie,RS500 and Escort Cosworth. My old top hose with my old radiator was a Telstar hose

The UK hoses are matched up by looking at a lot of pics and a bit of a gamble, otherwise if you get on well with your local parts guy, he might let you go through all the radiator hoses that they stock, this is how I matched up the hoses for my old set up

Woot!!!
