Anybody know where these wires go :huh: :ohmy: :dry:









Removing and carefully label the entire wiring loom has been a challenge! So many wires and plugs :woohoo: My next challenge is to slowly modify it and fit it into the engine bay and dash area!

The donor Suzuki is starting to look a little empty!

Thanks :lol:





The build up of heat in the engine bay is a problem, once you surround the engine with a hull and bonnet. The engine bay is fitted with a temperature sensor and gauge with triggers the cooling fans to disapate the heat.

Thanks for taking the time.....I appreciate it and it looks really well!!

You've probably noticed I do a little bit of casting from time to time....upshot is I use sodium silicate (waterglass) for making cores......thin as water but with co2 when painted onto fabric it hardens and resists heat very well(it's the main chemical in exhaust paste) I'm going to apply some to my wrap and see how it goes.

Another thing I use is ladle grease which is a ceramic slurry which makes the ladle resistant to molten metals....god awful expensive on ebay and small quantities online.....I got 100kg for £15 :D

With the slurry it's always reminded me of the ceramic coating applied to exhausts from way back........I'll drop a bit on my turbo downpipe to see how well it sticks......might be an option for yours if it adheres well?
