Week 39 - The Build

 Busy week just gone and some big cosmetic changes! Really making some progress now. 

First job was to fit the fibreglass duct that guides the air from the outside through the raadiator and out the back of the boat. A key feature of this duct is that it secures the top of the radiator. Because of the way I installed the radiator and the gear cables and clutch hose etc, that part of the duct doesnt extend forward enough. I extended this enough with cardboard so as to make a mold for some fibreglass.

Here it is ready for the fibreglassing..

Here it is out of the mold...

...

and painted black to make it like it was always like it!

 and here it is all installed. The air filter is the blue thing and the hole above the engine oil filler cap will have a cover fitted.

Next job is to make a switch to connect to the 'Boot open' cable. A couple of spring loaded bolts to which are attached the wires and a copper strip on the engine cover.

Here it is in action..

Next job was installing the door mirrors, interior mirror,sun visors and the steering wheel centre for the hooter.

Here they are all done..
