FFR Coupe 65 in Sydney

[SydneyChris]

Still fitting off components..

Heater done, power steering plumbed in, ordered more radiator hose after being advised that an LS3 runs from the inlet of the water pump to the top of the radiator (highest point). Trying to borrow a hose clamp tool for the air con fittings.. most of the hoses are cut and fitted and the firewall fittings have been installed (AN type all round).

Made a much more decent clamp for the receiver drier (2.5mm plate steel), wrapped it in a rubber PVC pipe joiner sleeve and fixed the lot with SS worm drive clamps.

Didn't make my goal of getting the engine started in Jan.. Feb may be a possibility.. electrics are nowhere at the moment.

One day at a time..

Cheers

Chris

After discovering (in lieu of any indication in the build manual) that there was a tie plate for the radiator side panels, I reinforced and braced it with 3mm Al sheet.

Have joined it at the rear to the back to back angle I had installed earlier and added a centre support with a 6mm SS pin. Is not going anywhere.. !
