This car is being built primarily for the drag strip but will also be able to drive on the road. It has taken a few twist and turns during the build but we are back on track to get it compleded in 2019 (at long last). Due to the time this car is taking it has been called ETERNITY and will be sponsored by SRT Designs Limited - October 2018.
Water pump to inlet manifold hose looking a bit worse for wear and not fitting correctly. Also, water pump leaking so the hunt for a new one progresses.
In order to keep the new radiator cool; e.g. in traffic, I needed to fit an electric fan with an adjustable thermostat. Here is how I installed one.
The fuel system will be all new. Starting at the back with a Jaz fuel cell all the way to the Holley 650cfm four barrel with vacuum secondaries up front. All the fuel hose, adapters and fittings will be JIC AN and purchased from Speedflow - all part numbers will be entered for information.
As work progresses, ideas change, sometimes you make a mistake or the design did not turn out what you might have anticipated. Well this is one of those moments.
The plan is to create all new pipe work, fit a servo, have discs all round - vented up front and solid for the rear and a method of balancing the brake pressure from front to rear.
It would have been nice to construct all the pipework using braided hose and stainless fittings but funds dictated it was not to be. I have chosen copper nickel pipe as this is better than just copper. To carry out this task I borrowed a decent pipe flaring tool. Below is making one of the small pipes from the rear caliper to the tee piece.
