    What size tires are you using for the front and rear? Also, how much offset are you using for the rims if any? Those tires look great.

    They manufacture a product called syntactic form. This product can be used where you do not want heat to pass through or enter. Syntactic form can not be formed like some metals but can be machined with ease or can be purchased in a flat sheet form. Not sure if this material applies to any...

    If you get into a situation where you need to drill into hard material try using a reverse rake on the drill bit with carbide. This is the same rake one would use when drilling brass.

    My want to think about drilling blind some holes in the bottom of the plate for the epoxy to grab hold of during cure time. Using a disc sander with a abrasive disc with a cross hatch pattern works well also.

    That was the nitwit point I was trying to get across in my earlier posts. Thank you for making it much clearer to understand. I think it would work great in this application.

    Do you have room to install the bolts from underside of the tunnel? I was thinking of using stainless anchor bolts from the bottom side with some epoxy or silicone to prevent water intrusion. Also, do you happen to know what the thread size on the Graz for hooking up the oil cooler lines?

    You need 1.5 times the diameter of the thread to achieve maximum holding for the bolt you are using. So, if you are using a 1/2 diameter bolt you need 3/4 length of thread. General practice in the tool and die trade.

    ECU Recommendations

    I spoke with a company today that installs complete MoTeC systems from A-Z. How about 30-35 thousand and 5-6 weeks? That is about 65 percent of a Lemans with some great options. If you don't know what your doing with these systems, I guess you pay for those who do.

    I am going to have my wife who happens to have PHD in Education translate this for me. But, for the most part, makes sense.
