Had a small muck up with one of the water hoses on the intake manifold being in the way of the engine cover,

Checked my spare intake manifold and it had different placement of the hose outlets so ill swap them out.

Bled brakes last night so took it for a hoon ran pretty good just didn't like taking off in first so it's off the carb tuners this morning and a wheel alignment.

Re bolted my seats 100 mm back for added room. Cut up and re welded engine cover for snug fit around motor added with foam tape.

Tequila bottle wind screen wiper bottle. Hanger bearing mounted wth 3mm steel plate. Original Air filter re attached to carb with silicone joiner to keep with original Steeze

One thing I wasn't happy with about the van is the exhauste isn't loud enough! Peter and Stephen reckon they couldn't hardly hear it. What would make this louder? It's currently just running one hotdog and 2" pipe. I have a set of pipe extractors that I wouldn't mind using rather then the cast ones
