Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Started work on the boot

We got 2 filters for pre and post fuel pump. 1 is 40 microns and the other 100



Working out the layout



And sorted. Might change the hose from the tank to the first filter though to run down the front of the tank if I have host left over

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

More open wallet surgery -



We redid the oil cooler hoses in this stuff



All done and finished

Tell me how you get on with your starter.

I had to modify my CAE one as the throw out was incorrect.

That box of fittings looks expensive... They add up pretty quick.

Will do mate, I hope it fits but if not expect a call!!

Yes, It's been a rough week on the wallet....

No real season as I'll start off with a few sprint days and go from there

Starter motor turned up today too

Very light and should kick it over nicely

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Little bit more happening

Pedal box now installed and power steering too

Next step in the rear firewall and then we can start the plumbing

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Enjoying the break but time to get back into it

The alloy tank was to suit an EFI set up so we needed to make up a plate to blank off the efi fulty pump hole

This is now the fuel outlet that will go to the fuel pump

Next step is to start on the fuel and brake lines

Stay tuned

Where did you get the kit?

I might be interested in doing something similar given the cost of recovering.

Thanks, Shaun
