I ran a 50mm in my '57 from the boot and it turned that 510C.I. big block over like the plugs were out of it

[Errol62]

Made a sort of bus arrangement to locate the switch up under the dash

Electrical all done

I earthed the starter bottom bolt to the subframe inner leg

Next job mount the battery.

Made up a mount Sunday arvo after club rego day
Now to fix it to the floor.

Meanwhile, clearenced manifold, and mocked up with spacers.Much better. I fitted 2.25" studs to out the carbys, but had to cut them all down by 15mm, sheesh, all 12 of them!

All the bits are now in hand......
No club runs until September so no more excuses.

Just a thought on the bus. Might be an idea to pull it off and put some heatshrink over most of it. Saves accidently shorting it with a stray spanner (or someones steel capped boots). If its painful to get back out, a couple of layers of PVC tape would do the trick.

Cheers,
Harv

Yes Harv. I wrapped it in Nitto tape, then heat shrink OTT. So double insulated. I will also sheath the cable running under the floor mat in heater hose, to be sure, to be sure.....

I've inadvertently shorted so much stuff out that I am damn near giving Jo Lucas a run for his money

I'm paranoid about it, don't worry mate...

Got to screw the switch to firewall yet. Modify and reinstall parcel tray.

Battery mounted
Linkage and cable set up connected to the throttle. Pedal feels just about right, more direct than current and getting WOT.
