Today's post is full of spinning metal at a high rate of speed!. Also this will be part 1 of 2, took way more pictures than I realized
Using v blocks to machine a face on the aluminum bar
V blocks are almost a necessity when milling round materials
I made 2 of these, this one will be welded to the underside of the plenum eventually
This is the second one
Made a plug anchor
Plug anchor is inserted into plenum bolt holes
Machining a hole and facing the hole for the plug anchor
Bent 2 of these 1/4" stainless bars for the fuel line/engine harness to mount to
They run the length of the plenum
Threading the ends of both stainless rods
Aluminum sleeve threads onto the rod end
Faced sleeve and drilled hole for 12 point fastener
Its like a little exoskeleton
Contoured end for maximum ocd effect
I have incorporated a service mode that will allow ample room and doesn't require any fasteners to be removed just loosened
But ya this is just the build of the main frame that will hold my fuel lines and engine harness, I will continue the actual mounting system in an upcoming update
Finally painted the headlight housings Black!!
Had a few completely valid comments on the headlights looking better black, I can assure you I didn't like them as well so I buckled down and went through the joy of separating the headlight assembly and repainting them, came out nice
