So while I'm awaiting parts for the fuel system and inlet I thought I'd have a crack at my brake cooling kit and as I was chopping the liners about thought I should start to cut in my louvres properly.

Liners out



Ducting in (kinda)



Joe's not hte only one with a Dremmel

heeeeeeey!! wankers

Ok so I'm super slow with my updates as usual

both front liners are long since chopped and fitted



The swirl pot tank showed up from Integrated Engineering

Very impressed by the build quality of it, very nice



With pump ready to fit



All torqued up with pump fitted



Check valve temproarily fitted, looks daft



Pump mounted in position and wired in the pump and relay. Used 2.5mm cable which should be ample!!
Trim the ties back and start adding fittings and fixtures



Now is just a case of terminating the hoses to the correct length and plumbing it all in.

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

I love my hose, black hose, red hose





Then it will be a case of driving it again. Been over a year since I drove in anger now (last years Time Attack at Snetterton).

Noah's getting some driving in, but he's moved over to the BMW



Can't quite get his gear changes sorted though!

The swirl pot looks nice and strong (thick welded sides) to me and mounting on the bulkhead behind the chassis leg and B-pillar is about as safe a place as possible. Whats the capacity of the pot once the lifter pump is in it?

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

It's listed as 1.5l but I can't find if that's with or without the pump.... With I hope but that said it's listed as being good up to 650bhp so I'm sure it'll cope

Looking nice Jimmy I like the swirl pot how do you get your hose so nice? I have been having problems when I cut the hose with a dremel cutter it tend to spread out and I can't get the connector on it

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

I used an angle grinder so it's a much cleaner cut! You'll struggle to cut stainless braid with a dremmel mate

[Nev]

The trick is to put a jubilee clip on both sides of of the pipe where you intend to cut, that way no wire splayage.

thats what i do too. Just make sure you clean the pipe out.

Will call you this week at some stage, just been a bit manic.

Not had liners out yet and at work so cant go check the vx myself. Does the cutout you've put in them have anything to join to the clam or is the gap fairly small and not worth the effort?

Oooh, tha said, after reading Nev's response below I understand what you mean now.... As I said use an angle grinder but before you cut be sure to use masking tape that way the splayage is also minimised. This is how Aeroquip recommend you do it. JG posted a video somewhere showing how it's done properly

See above Nev, masking tape is the best method
