Its been getting a bit warm inside, so a couple of weeks ago decided to add some vents, passenger side done, drivers side will be this week

Hopefully this will keep the passengers from moaning how bloody hot they are

Nothing much to report...........fitted the drivers side air vent, got some new leads to try out, will have to see if there's any difference ?

Tore up the rear quarter last week

I will repair it in the Winter, cant be rsed to do it now will most likely extend both the wheel arches to prevent it happening again

Gave the old girl a good clean after the good soaking she got last Sunday, lets hope the weather is better this weekend @ Brooklands & for Garys Picnic

Well, I made a new chute bracket tonight (didn't like the other one) & Paul welded on the tabs.

Got to get some ally plate & bend the main tube bracket, will bend it over Andy's when I pick up some tube tomorrow. Should have it all welded up & fitted by Weds/Thurs.

Then just got to run the release cable & fabricate cable bracket, so should be all be done by the weekend, with 5 days to spare.

Will have the injection hat all back on by the end of this week. Also going to change the trans fluid & fit a new filter as well.

So no panic at the moment

All sounds very good, Mark.

Found that part you were asking after for your catch can!

Let me know if it looks right and I'll bring it to the Nat's for you.

Jerry,
Just to let you know I'm not slacking, here's a few progress pictures from tonight.

1) Chute Mounting brkt & ally backing plate

2) Backing plate support frame

3) Backing plate support frame, painted

4) chute lower brkt, made this a long time ago, never got round to fitting, made it for a twin chute at the time, but only running one

5) Frame, Backing plate assembled & Fitted to chute bag

Progress has gone quite well, I have made the mounting bracket from chassis to chute mount, will try to finish tomorrow, in readiness for welding on Saturday
Next job will be the chute cable release mechanism
