VR Senator with LSx454

Seems like it might be a bit engineer specific though, maybe worth asking yours before you do.

 

LOL, actually I agree with you, maybe a billet black one?

Thanks Nick, all good info. My engineer was quite definite about the height thing, to be perfectly honest I am not totally sure why from an actual functional point of view. I will say he is a very very good engineer, and so far hasn't suggested anything that didn't have a very sound reason behind it, he's not a "just do it my way" kind of guy. Btw, the way I have mounted my ABS is at 90 degrees to how it sits normally. So maybe out of luck by the sound of it I may end up with a little more reliability if I read what your saying correctly. Btw that's not a hijack, all useful info gladly accepted!!

 

So anybody know where I can get a nice billet black brake reservoir cover?

 

Thanks, have sent them a query a couple of hours ago

 

OK, gotta say I have never noticed, but I am assuming its the, "there" instead of "they're". As you say, his welding is awesome

 

****, forgot all about that, should be able to tomorrow, I got the new fuel tank dummied up in position last night so I will be working around that area tomorrow, so will get some pics.

 

Lol, been doing a lot on the fuel system, so not a huge amount to show, but heaps of bloody work, tbh I am sitting having a beer and bloody stuffed. Today routed the 5/8 hardline for the feed tomorrow hope to do the 1/2 return, made up a pair of bulkheads to switch from the hardline to the braid to tank, and up to engine. Came up pretty sweet but farking time consuming. Lesson for learners like me, should have done it when the engine, trans and rear sub frame was out but anyways. Bought a really nice Holley lift pump, working through building the pump system into the front of drop tank. Hopefully tomorrow avo may have a decent update.

 

Btw, I tried to take some shots but it doesn't really show anything coz its up on the hoist so the wheels are hanging down at bottom travel.

 

Will post some pics tomorrow, but I am finishing the hard line at the back of the trans, then just going for there to a bulkhead on the firewall in Teflon braid. Yes was a bitch to work the 5/8 but in the end it's neat as, pretty much followed the factory path then made up a bulkhead above the drive shaft to terminate and go braid from there to the fuel tank. One day I want to make a genuine 1000HP so I am trying to do it once and build in capacity so I never have to touch it again. Never done one before though so I am learning as I go.
