Small start on the battery box

I got a new style of tool for my 37' AN flares, and I like it. Its a Parker Rolo-Flair. I picked it up from aircraft-tool Can't really see the flares but they're good. I just use cheapo harbor freight bending tools and they work fine for me. I'd like a swagelok though.

Not a bad idea...the rest of the house has car parts, might as well include some in the kitchen too. lol. I'm mostly concerned about it's long term stability, but I'm going to go ahead and run them. Good news is they're cheap. If it doesn't last 5 years I'll replace.

Actually I bought a full size 2 part applicator gun and needed to fill my cart a little to get it over $100. Then I also got $15 off with a code....hey I'm cheap. Try MAY17DEAL at checkout for over 100. Or signup for email and get 15% off.

Price went up slightly from a week ago...but still $11. They also have sheet, tube etc. Value Brand Angle, Al, 6061, 1/4 In T, 1 1/2 In Leg, 8 Ft 2EYV9 | Zoro.com

Got some aluminum angle I need to use up so I put together this battery box. Probably will be some changes for mounting

used my buddies at the Pentagon to zoom in on that photo...lol Robert Mcnamara, ford president

Just an FYI, Zoro has some raw materials, and they have free shipping over $50. I bought an 8ft length of .25" aluminum angle for like $7. I'm pretty sure the shipping on that alone was like $20. Hard to beat the price

This is the combination I'm using...only I don't have a belt or my engine running yet soo....

Also I bought this style of weld-in twin tube beta clamp's for the 1-1/2 stainless tubes in the tunnel. Little concerned about the plastic, believe it's probably polypropylene. Curious if anyone has used them and know if they will hold up to coolant line temperatures?

There was a lightweight panel in the tunnel of the eclipse they call a reinforcement panel. Was going to toss it but I think it will come in useful as a heat shield for the coolant lines in the tunnel....only problem, they interfere with the coolant lines in the tunnel. So cut out the center...

Done

Thought I might share some info with you regarding ECU inputs as I just learned this about my own. I'm using Haltech but I'm sure the same for Dominator. Because of the danger involved in DBW throttle body, the inputs from these devices in aftermarket ECU's are redundant, meaning it does the...

I think I may have screwed the pooch. Can someone with knowledge of the light brake inspection (California) chime in regards to DOT lights. These JDM OEM lights I bought are basically the same exact light as the US OEM lights however I don't think they will have DOT stamping. I'm guessing...

Tacking up the business end of the harness mounts. And the inside

Consider upgrading to wider pushrods maybe (that will fit). I was amazed to see the difference in strength in wider pushrods vs thicker pushrods. Saw a video of pushrods at 9000 rpm and they looked like wet noodles...so I went with Manton series 5 rods on my car. They use a molten salt heat...

That could be partially good news. I had a feeling that since you drove it home and it didn't completely grenade on you that it could be valvetrain related. I think you got lucky there anyway. So is your expectation that you had a faulty part or did you diagnose a cause? Improper lash setup...

Lapse of judgment. Needed $99 for free shipping at Summit and they don't carry RH...lol. Truthfully I wasn't thinking RH would have that style of quick release fitting and didn't see it until later. I considered sending it back but said f it.

Got my flex fuel sensor. You can usually use an OEM sensor instead of the aftermarket ECU part. Here the GM sensor is 1/3 the price of the Haltech one and it's the identical sensor. Also I prefer this style of SAE fuel line quick disconnect (over the plastic insert style). I don't usually...

Will be using redhorse performance fittings for pretty much the entire system. They're very good quality for the price and I've had good results with them. Streetsideauto.com has pretty good prices on them. Using RH's series 205 E85 braided stainless.
