7 my time or yours? lol
We're in the same time zone. I'm in Ohio.
ok, will do
I'll be posting an update shortly, I just wanted to add that MNPC Tech has helped out with some 3M mounting tape and u-channel edge molding for the window! Thanks Bill!
OK so update time, finally :D
I started off by finishing the sanding and filing on the edged of the spark plugs, and trimming them down to size. The tops were not needed, as the plug boots will be covering them anyways.
I then used my Dremel to cut a channel into the backside. This channel will hold a 3mm blue LED, and the wiring will run out the top and into the plug cap, as shown.
Next I got some 1/4" black fuel line. This will be the plug wires, and the wiring for the LEDs will be run through this as well.
It fits nicely into the cap :D
Now I needed to make something to hide the PSU wiring mess that will reside behind the PSU where the second drive cage was removed. I made this carbon fiber piece for my Tempest SXR mod, and will do something similar, but nicer.
Here's the PSU installed, and the bundled wiring will need to be hidden for aesthetics :D
I've got approximately 15" in length, 7" on the horizontal leg and 4" on the vertical. I got 2 sheets of aluminum, 18" x 12". I marked 7" from one end and made a line, then bent the sheets on my metal brake.
These will be used as an inner and outer mold. I've got some Rexco Formula Five release wax and Partall PVA mold release on the way for these. This way I'll lay up a few sheets of carbon fabric with resin, and clamp it between these two mold halves to get a nice consistent single piece, then I'll just trim and sand as needed.
That's it for now!
lol, hopefully this time it doesn't go crooked when you're not looking :D
seriously nice work!
yea that other one I made from 2 pieces, and I think I didn't sand one of them quite straight :facepalm:
Doing it this way will ensure a nice straight part :D
Sponsor, progress & CF woooo :D:up:.
