Ha! High praise indeed...not up to Graham's unbelievable standards but I'm pleased with how its turned out. Cheers for the compliment...now all we need is some nicer weather and less salt on the road so I can go out and get it dirty!

Oooooooo....that is lovely and squeeky clean.... I had a look under mine last night...... waxoyl....and lots of it. At least there is no tin worm!

Some wiring mods to tidy up......

[Incognegro]

Here's mine, just waiting on a few more logos Dave The Trimmer (interior umbrella holder in Egg), Pipercross (Long life performance filter) etc.

Last job on Cerb is gonna be bonnet vents then finish the 1k run in on my TVR Power rebuild (900miles to go) and then Santa Pod here I come!

[Geoff Ashcroft]

A long way off perfect, but reasonably nice and tidy with new hoses and an ally rad. Oil tank breather hose needs swapping and inner wings need a tidy up next winter.

Now ive had my bonnet lift mod, I can try a get my engine as clean and shiny as some of the others on here

Hi,

Whats the Swirl Pot Gauge? Aftermarket? Where did you get it from?

Steve

[glow worm]

Is that so you can see the water level ??? If so it's a good idea .

[digger77]

Yes its a sight glass. Ian at Trackvroad came up with the suggestion, no more guessing where the water level is. He also fitted a self bleeding kit as a further improvement. Great idea and probably the best modification so far IMHO

[glow worm]

I think that's the best mod I've seen this year....I want one . Now where's Uncle Clive Ford when you want him ....can you weld ali .
Anyone got a spare water expansion tank to sell ??? .

You don't appear to have a washer bottle in there... but I'm presuming you never use the wipers anyway

It's hiding at the front one of Lees I upgraded the wiper washer fittings from race tech at weekend but your almost right in that its not used much in wet. So far it's seen a thunderstorm on way to Le Mans

Cheers Sandy

Hi, probably not as much as others on here who are more mechanically minded, the hoses were fitted by Mat Smith, as I had only just got her and the engine scared me :/ the rest I've fitted myself although str8six did the initial Airbox as the ACT one isn't plug and play, plus having a newer t350 I had different positioning of brackets to work round.

ACT Carbon Airbox (Trumpets)
ACT Silicon Hoses
ACT Carbon Camcover
Stainless Steel Nuts and Bolts
Lightly Polished Everything I Could Find (Fuel Rail, Swirl Pots, Bonnet Stay, Expansion Pot etc)
Wiped and cleaned off all the gunk and muck I could find.
Painted Camcover - Paint Matched
New Stainless Heater Pipe
New Heatshield Material
Re Blackened Inside Bonnet
TVR Ecosse Camcover Badge

Next Project - Stainless Bracket for Swirl Pot Expansion Pot

Agreed its a nice look but if not used in conjunction with bonnet openings it's a little pointless? As hot air rises away from there anyway if it then gets rebounded back by the bonnet it will just cause the cam cover to fry? But yep the look was nice.
