Why not just buy AN bolts from one of the major suppliers like Aircraft Spruce, Pegasus etc. They are available in 1/16" increments and are designed for this sort of stuff. Saves lots of time and probably more cost effective in the long run.

OMG, you will really want to look after those tyres. The rears look like they are around 960 GB Pounds EACH and from around 1400AUS Dollar each. Maybe the 17" wheels would have worked out more cost effective over the longer term ?

I always add a little to the unleaded race fuel in my race car to keep the injectors and fuel pump lubricated and have never had a problem and, if anything, they run quieter It was recommended to me by an old but well respected aircraft engineer who raced with our group

Just watched your video series.. Loved the way you have presented it and the story behind what you have done.. You little fella should be proud of his dad. (and I am sure he secretly is) All the best. Ricky.

Great stuff and welcome to the family. Love to see some photos of the acquisition. No doubt you have the engineering side of things all sorted for licensing in NSW. Cheers from WA Ricky.

Steam roller anyone !!!

Certainly the "Master Craftsman" Chris. Awesome job you do on all your cars.

Yes, Shorten the hex bar and re thread as needed, being sure that at full WOT you do not over center and cause the throttles to not return. (Maybe do a dummy run on some scrap material before modifying to work out what works best) This will effectively rotate the pulley around to a more...

In my experience with both Borla and the Speedmaster copies of Borla 8 stack, shortening the drive links and re clocking the bell crank to a better angle will significantly help with both initial pedal pressure to open throttle progressively and also help to return to a closed position.

Maybe something like these screw in units https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Threaded-Fuel-Injectors-1000cc-screw-in-auxiliary-/162662546656 simplifies it. Alternatively, a small manifold inside the plenum with hose tail end injectors like this could work

Often thought that myself. Dead head the injectors to simplify the incoming fuel (like on LS engines) Drilling for the injectors might be tricky.

Here you go Mick. Not for motec but off of my 347 ITB / TPS load referenced system.

Peter, It almost looks like that intake can be mounted up the other way so the injection is down flow (IE injecting above and into the butterfly) my supervee kugelfischer mechanical injection is similar with injectors before butterfly (pointing in flow direction)

All motors are 302 based. The Cobra photo is the speed master, the attached here is the Inglese / Borla unit
