    those dumps look very similar to what i made, great minds think alike:D

    I mounted my O2 sensors on teh underneath though as i found there was better access

    Cool

    Never thought of putting them underneath, makes sense easier to get at.:)

    Everything I've read about installation of O2's suggests that you shouldn't mount them on the bottom of pipes to avoid buildup of condensation. Something to be mindful of.

    yeah but they are still mounted on a vertical pipe, not completely underneath if you know what i mean. alot of manufacturers have them mounted in this fashion.

    Finished off the engine

    Today, welded up the Dump with a hole in it, rebandaged it, bolted it on, fitted up a few hoses, rechecked the timing,and she was good to put back in.
    Dont get a day off for nine days now, might take a sickie to get more done.

    UNIQUE ZED Zed Racing World

    Grandfather Ron will put a lot of the younger drivers to shame when he is the fastest road zed at the DAT NATS. With more power now to seal the deal. To rub it in, owner builder title to. Well done iin advance for being the second fastest zed at the NATS.

    Hey,

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, but i can put enough pressure on myself.:D
    I learnt long ago nothing is a done deal, and although i'll be giving it a red hot go, i'm not selling the talents of ports, JT, Wykked etc short by any means.:)
    Besides iv'e got to get it going first.

    Don't choke on the modesty pills, Ron. You're a gun and we all know it!
