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

Pedal box now installed and power steering too

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

Its amazing how many little jobs are left to do...but on the final stretch...when does your racing season start....cheers mark

[Matt75]

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

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

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....

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

[Matt75]

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

[Matt75]

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Going to run the lines inside the car so here is the bulkhead fitting



Carbie hoses done now too





And lastly clutch cable fitted and all feels great

[Matt75]

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Still a bit to go on the fuel hoses then onto the brakes

Stay tuned

[Matt75]

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

Made up the rear brake lines to go all the way into the M/C's then the fronts, Ran out of hose for the front left so I need to get more to finish it off. Threars are done and all bled up too
