[Chops]

Looking good Russ

Most of the work looks pretty good but I think my favorite part so-far is the chrome powder-coated batt racks, they really make all the difference

[rudey]

Now ain't that the truth.... and a little birs tells me i still owe on them 

[rudey]

hey ya'll.. been really busy of late, so little progress has really been made on the old girl, started again now though, slowly getting to the point of pouring some oil into those pumps!!



accumulators and lock offs in place, these alone have been a massive ball ache, getting the parts & getting the couplings to suit, that appears to be the difficulty when your working with American and UK parts etc....



Fibreglass is coming on slowly, but i need to get this in place before i can finally put the accs to bed as the box wont fit past them, its surprising how little space there is in the now considering i could have fitted 3 bodies in the until recently!!

US-UK adaptors are easy to get Rus [easy for me as I know where!], guess I need to put up a conversion chart and supplier codes.

I'm concerned at the size of the hose adaptors onthe Acc Tees................... looks like you are only going to use 1/4 hose ? I think that may defaet some of the acc effect, specialy from the front rams.

Tonight I will try to put up a list of the adaptors that i would use.

[rudey]

Iain, they are fittings to suit JIC hoses as were supllied with my BM kit, the hoses look standard to me, but it might just be scale, remember that boot is massive!!

[rudey]

... Iain, you are right, i knew i shouldn't question your integrity!! ive had a look around the set up, the hoses are 3/8 (as printed on the outside of the hoses) but ALL the connectors i have are 1/4" and thats including the ones that came with hydro kit.... please dont tell me its wrong....

I think there is confusion here with US and Imperial thread sizes........................
