| Re: DAX40 Return to the Road Dave
Good to hear our Dax is having it's legs stretched and seeing some fast work - bummer about the mosfire.
Tomorrow I'm working on mine all day just checking things over as I have done over 400 miles in the last 2 weeks - ran really well but got hot in traffic. (Need to restrict flow through my non functional (looped) heater system - people suggest with the loop it means a substantial flow is removed from the radiator circuit.
I'm interested in your comments on the tyres as I'm on the brick hard 18 year old Goodrich ones!
Then it's start of plumbing in some forced cockpoit ventilation - I'm going for duct from the 2 Naca openings into a box on top of the pedal cover - fan into cockpit and air vents -be able to install the drivers window at last.
I'm also going to fit 2 fans - 1 either side inside the front of the rear clip to nove hot air as much as possible when stationary - like waiting for track at Le Mans (2x 120mm computer fans rated a 50cfm should assist)
I look forward to having 2 of the Rarest Gt40's next to eash other for a photoshoot (For those not in the know Dax produced low 30's of this kit and recon that only about half have been completed.)
