SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY brought more wiring. Ordering new side marker pigtails but other than those got the underhood harness complete. Finishing up the battery cables for the charging lugs. Checking some options for underhood LED lights and starting on brackets for those. Still measuring and planning out weight tanks for the permanent weight, lot of weight going in due to the 100lb driver. Should have a good bit of parts coming in this week so hoping for a productive weekend coming up.

I wasn't so sure of the battery, I got the one that was in the car and a new spare that came with. The old one seemed to do fine at the track though.

We're so far behind here we gotta try to step up the "during the week shop time" so Autumn dropped the radiator to a buddy to get it welded on and I stopped at the local candy store to pick up some stainless braided (with a woven nylon cover) fuel line and a bit of -20 to try.

ETX18L is usually a battery grouping used for motorcycles,scooters and atv's ! I guess if it works for you, run with it. Nice and light that is for sure.

That's exactly what it is... a motorcycle battery. Worked fine the little bit we did actually use it.

Half the price of a comparable Braille... https://www.braillebattery.com/index...atteries/b2317 If it lasts and does the job I would run it as well.
