[QUOTE="suicidekings, post: 15860420, member: 121833"] Well, just as quickly as its done.... its back up on stands. [ATTACH=full]1475579[/ATTACH]Untitled by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/92446505@N02/]|SK Photography|[/url], on Flickr I was noticing that the brakes needed to be bled again so I bought a pneumatic brake bleeder which worked much quicker. I pulled two bottles of fluid through the system so it should be air free now. I also found that the tank has a very slight seep from the fuel hat which I plan to fix this weekend. My air fuel gauge is also not working any longer... it should sweep to warm up but no longer does this so I will need to dive into figure this out. I noticed I had some bowing on the hood when it closed so I decided to look into this and found the hood struts were rubbing on the CC plates. I had to modify the brackets. The pic below shows where I had to grind off a quarter inch from the bracket on the front and bottom. [ATTACH=full]1475580[/ATTACH]Untitled by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/92446505@N02/]|SK Photography|[/url], on Flickr It helped but still not perfect... it will work for now. I needed to button up my valvecover breather setup so I ended up making some brackets for my catch cans. I didn't want to drill into the pretty finished bay so I made these brackets that mounted on the bottom of the rail. [ATTACH=full]1475581[/ATTACH]Untitled by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/92446505@N02/]|SK Photography|[/url], on Flickr Keep in mind these brackets were taken from my scrap metal pile. They were aluminum pieces for dock sections I believe. I cleaned them up and painted them with wrinkle paint and they didn't turn out too bad. [ATTACH=full]1475582[/ATTACH]Untitled by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/92446505@N02/]|SK Photography|[/url], on Flickr Here is how they mount from the under side. [ATTACH=full]1475583[/ATTACH]Untitled by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/92446505@N02/]|SK Photography|[/url], on Flickr Im not 100% sold on the routing of the hoses.... but this is where it is now.
