FIRST ROUGH TRIAL FIT .


This evening I decided to spend an hour just roughly fitting the main components for the first time to see how much room there would be in general .
It soon became clear that the best place for the dry sump tank would be neatly tucked into the corner of the passengers footwell , leaving more room under the bonnet and bringing the centre of gravity further rearwards . The Caterham race rad makes things easier being reasonably small and the accusump could possibly be mounted to the susspension turret brace seen here as a bit of 3"x1" timber . This should all leave plenty of room for laminova , swirl pots , thermostats and filters etc .
I am still waiting for my estimate for the Omex 200 and associated bits but that should certainly be here by tuesday .
It does not matter how much progress one makes the list of things still to be done never seems to get any shorter !
