Tommy want wingy..
Couple of update pics....
Probably going to be the nicest part of the whole buggy.. Carbon Fiber intake to the throttle body with the Turbosmart Vee Port Pro BOV. My buddy @SMKYTXN volunteered his time and a lot of effort/research to get this knocked out. I think it turned out RAD!
I'm going to add a rubber pad to the protect the carbon fiber on this chassis mount. Pass side Radiator hose is in. Driver side will need some work to the bottom side of the throttle body for the lower hose to clear.
Brake lines 3AN All 4 corners are done. Rear will have a pressure switch in line for the rear brake light.
Tried to F up this caliper in the process when the 3AN fitting twisted off. Thank God I got that pulled out and chased the threads with a 1/8npt tap. Hopefully it hold with the extra Teflon I put on the new fitting.
Chassis Tag from Adam. I added some heat and formed it on some 1.75 DOM. Still unsure where it will live on the chassis. Probably where it is right now.
Added a bump bar to the front. I tried to keep the tubes tied into the nodes as best as I could. The welds aren't as nice as Adam's but they should work. the bump bar is about 2/3 welded in currently. The winch can still be dropped in through the top. Not the best notches, but not to bad for my first try and I didn't have to start over. The Pipemaster helped out a ton!! Should help protect the winch and front lights when I get them tucked in there. I got the idea from the Wende Chassis owners page on FB. Suck down winch point also welded in place. Pretty nifty mount from Hulse Engineering and quick release pin from McMaster Carr. Keeping everything wiped down with the Fluid film has kept the rust at bay on the chassis.
Is the list getting shorter? LOL NOPE!!
Nathan's concept for my low pro Oil pan for the RZ to keep in in line with the Trans pan from the A340F. 4.5" deep with a little taper from front to rear.
Trap doors to keep the oil by the pickup
