Not on my screen, for some reason. Have found another way to get going and have started a thread.

Can anyone tell me how to add photos within the post, rather than as thumbnails?

Default More Pictures

Hi Richard here are some Radiator Pictures



Radiator Passenger Side



Radiator View of the Top



Radiator Hoses View from under the Car



Fuel Lines Finished



Master Cylinders Heat Shield



Exhaust Headers Started



Charcoal Canister Lines through the rear floor



Engine Water Hoses

Things are progressing very nicely.

Craig has a heap of new parts on the shelf for me to fit and I am falling behind because supply is really ramping up.

Cheers

Brad

Hi Brad,

Thanks for the photos - all of them are a great help for me to be able to visualise how things go together. Can you also tell me how the radiator is fixed to the chassis along the top? I can see the bracket on to the radiator, but not how it fixes to the chassis.

Your car is progressing really well, and looks great! You must be excited to be nearing completion.

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard

The radiator piece that seals the top between the radiator and the body is bolted to the raised edge on top of the radiator.

You can see the heads of the screws in the photo.

Cheers

Brad

Hi Brad,

Sorry - you are right. I meant where does it attach to the chassis. Do you need to drill holes into the cross member that (in your photos) has "6" on the masking tape, above?

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Richard

You will owe me a beer for this

On the picture "Passengers side" you will see a piece of bent Aluminium which has 3 button headed bolts that attach the radiator support which has the fresh air intake secured in the piece.

I hope this helps

Cheers

Brad

Hi Brad,

My headers are very similar to what you are building there. Just something to check is the clearance for starter wiring. When you add a thick cable there, clearance becomes tight. I was lucky that I was able to get it to fit but if I had the wire in place when making the headers things would have been easier.

Hi Liam

Thanks for the advice I sure will look at the wire from the starter to make sure there is enough clearance.

Cheers

Brad

Mine ended up with a pretty big bundle there as it has main battery feed to the starter (0 guage), alternator charge wire, starter switch wire and also the engine oil level sensor wires (ls motor). I ended up with about 10mm clearance so wrapped it with heat shield foil and secured it to the starter with stainless zip ties.

Hi Brad,

Many thanks - that's clear now! I am starting on this at the weekend so your photos and comments will be a great help.

Beer is on its way, but may be warm and flat by the time it reaches you!

Cheers,

Richard

Hi Brad,
I see you have a mobile cradle supporting your chassis, what lenght, width and height is it as I am about to make one for my car when it arrives. I only have a 6 x 6 M workshop which I share with my other car and need to be able to roll the chassis around to work on it.

Any info from others with mobile cradles to suit Pace 427 would be appreciated as well.

Cheers

Russell

If you build one big trolley you will need a hoist to get the car on and off
I made two small trolley so I can lift it on and off the trolleys one end at the time with my trolley jack.
The size of your jack will dictate the height you make them.
Let me know if you want a drawing of what I built

Hi d488y2,

I have ordered a comprehensive kit in pieces and will be fully assembled in my own garage so until it is at the roller stage I need a cradle.

Go Jacks are on the list for when I get some wheels to put them under.

Thanks for your advice.

Cheers

Russell

Hi Daryl,

This is very similar to what I have in mind, using independent front and rear supports which frees up the ability to move around underneath the car. I will be looking to make a hardwood knock down version so the trolleys can be stored away.

A bonus with the Pace car is that it has a flat floor so trolleys are quite easy to make.

Cheers

Russell
