8.50 index build

Last thing for the weekend was getting some of the brake lines put back in.

One thing nice about tube floor structure with removable carbon floor panels is the room to get in there to work. The down side is there is no place to lay tools or hardware, wiring or supplies. Came up with this idea. Some large baking sheets and some soft drawer liner foam and some spray glue. The drawer liner material should keep from scratching the powder coating on the chassis.

Assembly continues...

Maybe I'll take some time to wire up the steering wheel button so I can use the practice tree again.

Took time to get some of the wiring connectors & tools organized. Still need to sit down and order some tefzel wire and heat shrink.

Yesterday I picked up the bulk of the rest of the parts that were painted.

Some more progress this week. Powder coating and anodizing came back.

Inside fire nozzle centered above the transmission.

Switzter Dynamics fuel rails anodized very nicely.

Custom switch mount, MAC valve mount and delay box mount on the shifter.

Custom pinion sensor mount, Davis Technologies sensor & ring.

Wishbone mounted.

Upper fender mounts anodized.

Hatch hinge/roof supports.

Tim McAmis light weight fuel cell cap anodized.

Preparing to start wiring here soon. The plan is to start in the back and work my way forward. Needed to mock up the shock sensors to wire them, but the shock simulator blocked them from bolting up forcing me to mock up the shocks temporarily. Simulator goes back on as soon as the rear wiring is complete.
