Also started to fit the main fuel feed line. using AN6 fittings and PTFE Fuel line.

:top:

So i want to Bin the massive heater boxes from behind the dash, but i still wanted to run a heater for demisting purposes. So i looked at lightweight kit cars heater boxes, but for £120 for one that would be suitable for my needs.

So cue this...

£5 Tin Lunchbox
£5 Aprillia RSV Cooling Fan
£15 Mini Cooper Heater Matrix
£10 in Misc Fittings

Equals. £30 Kit Car heaterbox!

Still to finish it...

More updates on the heater...

My goal was to make this a "Weld Free" build. So that provided some challenges to keep it Low-Cost.

I plan 5 ducts on my box, 3 to feed the windscreen (Center, Left and Right) and 2 vents to feed the far left and right vents that service the front door window.

So after a trip to several DIY Stores, I found some suitable couplings for the ducts, but in a rather small 32mm side. I really wanted 2". So, i decided to use 2" plumbing waste pipe, then using some L Brackets from some Alloy angle stock i had in the metal bin. Unfortunatly, my hole cutters where made of utter cheese! so i had to resort to cutting the holes out with a die grinder...

Riveted in place, and then covered in 2-3 layers of Foil tape to keep it air tight.

Some more work on the brake lines, Slow progress...

So because im tucking/ simplifying the brake lines, im running them behind the dash, so ive drilled and used 2 steel bulkhead fittings. Was going to run the flexy direct from the bulkhead to the caliper, but now going to run a short hardline from the bulkhead to the perch.
