Nice one Stone, looking good. Need to get a battery cover and the stickers for the bit over the radiator now.

 

Unusual those orange hoses.

I cracked and ordered a 42draft inlet like KADVR6's :oops: :grin: I think it's sexier in chrome!

Neither actually - I didn't even have a PCV valve (someone had removed it in the past and replaced it with a huge tangle of dodgy vacuum plumbing) so I just used the silicone breather that came with my hose kit and ran it direct into the intake elbow, losing the dummy heater element in the process. The 42draft elbow came with a length of vacuum hose to run from the head takeoff by the throttle body direct into the blue carbon canister valve. Doubt it works anyway but at least I won't be leaking vacuum. Much neater, anyway!

 

The next job is to finish making the other 5 of these :norty:
