bigbazz Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 BTW, is Holden only made in Australia? Only seen the brand there and some stray exports in Asia. Yeah Holden is made in Australia but it comes under the general motors banner so some of the cars are designed similar to some of the american ones and vauxhall in europe. try use some hot glue for the piping it will keep it in place mate Thanks for the tip it worked perfectly so all fixed now Back to updating it has been a while but I have a bit of time off this week in between running various errands I have taken some time to do a bit more work and post some updates More work has been done on the memory cooler it has been bogged up sanded and primed Still needs another sand before applying a coat of chrome Done more work on the reservior housing Tubing will be hidden in this panel The tubing will run into/out of the case through these holes Tubing linking the reservoirs will be hidden underneath this panel The reserviors will stick up into this top section I have some images of how the left hand windowed side is starting look with the reservoirs It hasnt been glued together yet but it gives you a good idea of how it is shaping up I only put 3 of the resrvoirs in for the photos as the last on was hooked up for some basic testing. Well that is all for this update I might go and finish off linking the tubing and the memory cooler Good Luck to everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaPang Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Lot of pics Big, thanks, but it threw me off a little to see 3 reservoirs but 4 manifold exhaust pipes? It is a little beside the point now, best to close up our projects the best we can! Cheers and Saludos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbazz Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Making a run for the finish with a few changes Im not going to be using the memory cooler that I was working on a couple of parts were a bit too tight and it broke in the same couple of places Also as for things that were not working my mate was going to tap one of the reservoir lids to take a G1/4 fitting to hook up to the fill port but the lid cracked during the tapping process, he then was going to thread some metal and tap that but had problems and his workload backed right up so I made this alternative And with a whole heap of hot glue to stick and seal the lid. Put some water into it to check it was completely sealed Another issue I had with the pipe windows but the solution I think will look far better I was unhappy with how it looked with the window so I decided to try casting resin Made a couple of moulds so I could make 2 at a time and complete it in 2 runs About 12 hours later I have a solution The new windows had an added effect I had not considered they magnify Or cut my fingers off I just have to sand the ends flat, smooth the surfaces and I am going to paint a chrome strip on the top and bottom I have some more pictures of the reservior setup Connected up the first 3 The res on the left will connect to the fillport Clamped and glued together Well thats all for this update better get back into it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaPang Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Oops, now I see 4 reservoirs (they are reservoirs, right?), I take back my previous comment. Were you on schedule for the old deadline? You had as many setbacks as me! Anyways till the end of the month gives us a breather and as many projects, I will not be able to appreciate it fully until it is put together. Good luck for the rest of the trek!
