Hi Andy New bottom sheet looking good :-) Can start mounting pumps etc , it'll look like a turbine kart pretty quickly . Cheers John Hi John.... Thanks :-) the floor came out better than I hoped, the brush finish helps, drawing it up was a worry, measure 6 times, hope for the best, fusion has a good trick, you can import a picture, then trace over it, but if you scale it wrong :-( so drew it best I could put two holes for mounts at front, then drilled rest on the chassis..... Have control box, oil pump, ignition and pumps all wired up, stainless pipes for plate heat exchange unit done, need to go friends make up stainless over braid hoses... Throttle cable etc installed.... Steering wheel will be here 27th Dec... so can mount switchs, once thats done, test systems again.... fit engine.... OH work out how to get it out the shed ..... lol.... and out the back gate :-) lol taking it off looks best for now Been told machine is now free, and not expecting any work for it till end Jan next year. He says he wants to get it done by then :-) Chat soon.... looking forward to your video of test.... hoping numbers are up.... meaning perhaps bigger numbers for me

Hello every one, so its been some time since I haver posted A few things have been happening, collected the trimmed and balanced wheels fro AET Turbos.... I have been helping with a engine build for a TV show, which when its aired I will tell more My friend that is doing the CNC is about ready to start making chips.... he has a new machine installed, which will free up time on the machine needed to make the parts for the engine I do plan doing a video soon, share how things on the steering wheel are & why.... in the hope it will give others an idea.... Thank you to all that are and have helped me All the best

Hi Andy LOL.......now where have I seen that ;-) Looking forward to the video Cheers John Yes John LOL .... came out better than expected, given stainless like to move like a bugger when welding.... i have rest of the afterburner cut. But need the exhaust section made before it can be put together so going to ask Steve to CNC that first, so thing can get made.... Am looking forward to seeing you video to... hoping you get the part back soon
