So a little bit of actual progress and a lot of research. Firstly I have got the front deck strong back and one deck batten fitted. Just tonight I have manufactured some more battens.
A lot of my time has been spent on the engine.
I have purchased a second hand velvet drive. If you have read some of the early posts you will see I bought and sold a second hand one previously, but I think I have got it right this time. Anyway waiting for it to arrive.
To go with that I have purchased from Michagan Motorz a mount and oil cooler kit. Again waiting for that to arrive.
I also came across a air flow meter at a good price on Trademe so bought that as well,
Rest of the time has been spent investigating exhaust headers, heat exchangers and engine mounts. The headers and mounts are a bit of a chicken and egg issue. The exhanger, there are plenty of them out there but they are generally replacements for marine engines which is fine, but they don't make it easy to determine which ones would suit my engine. I have got the plumbing sorted in my head, just need to find one suitable for the HP of the engine.
