ripped_fear Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Ok yesterday was a nice day so I set about re doing the igniter as I was not happy with it at all. So this time I primed it sprayed it black, and clear coated it so it was nice and glossy, I also removed the screws and did them silver just so it wasn't to plain and boring. The picture does make it look a little patchy but in the picture its still drying. Pics- I also set about fitting the batter cover I have been working on for a while, Had to make a few adjustments to it, and I made some red plastic rings into the terminal whole's. I did this to hold the fitments away from the metal and to bring a little more red into the bay. Pics- I have also started making a template for the wings as im going to make some carbon fibre wing covers. Made the templates out of masking tape then transferred it to cardboard. These will be used when i make the actual end product. pics- And finally picture of Robs relay cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Bay is looking good. Can't wait to see this progress. That steering resovior been polished? Mate when you have the dimensions for your wings covers could I have a copy, I bought a set and though they look nice the fitment is shocking, now I've bonded them down I dont want to pull them back off to get measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And once I have finished the wing covers and got them as good as I can fitment wise, I will send you a copy no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Also thought I would put a couple of pictures up that I took today- Will find out in the next couple of days where I stand with the radiator surround so depending on the answer I can start in the repair for that in the next few days. Once repaired that will be painted gloss black on all the plastic bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed a couple of stickers that were looking tatty (the one from the cam cover showing which oil to use and the one off the top air feed as it was slightly coming off). I'll give it all a good clean at the weekend and see what we can do. I had a look on Ebay and there's a carbon fibre spark plug cover calling me, but as you say, it would need the Ferrari red cam covers to compliment it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
