EURON8 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Centers are easy. Get thin cardboard Place round edge of dish and It should push snuggly into dip between centre and outer. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 that was my plan... but the painter I spoke to thought it would quite possibly leave a furry edge, its a pretty tight gap... maybe I can find a sheet of .5mm plastic though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Or run a doubled over packaging tape ( or similiar) edge on the cardboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Holy crap, I figured i would have another read of your build on this, got to the end end was like, WTF!, Na.... but yip, you are the boss, so so jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 it's a long way from going into the car, but see me for parts once it grenades... actually might have a set of 44 Weber IDF's and manifolds spare soon (if I decide to go FI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 What are your options for Fi? use a later model intake or buy some IDA / F / what ever Style Throttle bodys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 both are options, I'd/I'll probably for the IDA throttle body option something similar to http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=412 (although this specific setup seems a little over priced) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Sooooo shiney and so pretty! I really like that colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 yes very pleased I elected to go with the stock colour, though changing it crossed my mind a couple of times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10Speed Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 no longer will I be able to blame others for the fact that it's not on the road.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
63Ragtop Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 paint looks sweet mate, hope those wide rims don't mess up your fresh fenders. you need one of these the turbo engine will be fun! better upgrade the gbox and brakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 the wheels fitted under the guards (with a light roll) before paint so they should still be good... though once I fit disc's the track will increase and I'll probably have to rebuild the wheels... looking for a new gear box to do in with the new engine, will probably go IRS as well...
