For those of you interested in this micro heater and how i mount it, heres a pic



Its not the neatest install but it serves it's purpose, and btw its not very good

Also today, a quick systems check

[Mikethepanel]

Today was the front legs. What a bloody nuisance

[Mikethepanel]

The shot blasters gave me a lovely bunch of bananas back yesterday

[Mikethepanel]

Back box and manifold coated and fitted




Just need to make the centre section now

[Mikethepanel]

Anyone else used this to coat a header?

[Mikethepanel]

The Bilstein fairies came today

[Mikethepanel]

Ready to rock and roll

[Mikethepanel]

Heavy duty four link bars assembled and ready to fit



And heres the axle seated



But run into a problem! Rear springs are too close to the turret, cutting and welding the bracket on the axle is required

[Nuts]

Man oh man this build is epic. Just so much attention to detail here. Love it.

Anyone else used this to coat a header?

Ive tested that, works well but for good heatshielding use the primer from techline also, helps alot with hot headers on bikes..

Been following this since the beginning. Amazing work. Wish we got cool escorts in the US

[Mikethepanel]
