I might if neccessary. Is there any reflective or insulating material on the underside facing the header?
The header wrap seems to do pretty well. I've slipped getting out of my race kart and instinctively went to support myself, which happened to be the header. If it wasn't for that wrap, I would've had 2nd to 3rd degree burns on my hand. Only slightly singed myself. No blistering.

Yeah. That looks pretty good. I had at least three hours into mine trying to clean it up

Had a little time and working on the steering column assembly. In looking at other peoples builds, is their supposed to be an included turn signal cancellation ring and split collar?
ctuinstra
Goblin Guru
Yep. And it supposed to be mounted with the tab pointing towards the turn signal when the wheel is straight. I thought it was supposed to be 180 degrees out and I was wrong (turn signal flashing for hours).

That's funny right there!
I'll email Adam and see if he can get that sent out.

Thanks for posting as I'm following your lead on this. I'm having a hard time visualizing why 180 degrees out won't work. Is it because of how far you'd have to turn the wheel before it cancels?

I wiped a film of clear silicone glue on the inside of the clips and let it cure. Put the clips back on and it definately keeps them from rotating.
ctuinstra

It cancels by coming out of the area of the turn signal and then comes back, at that moment it cancels. If it's 180 degrees out, it has to be turned quite a way before it finally cancels. I found this out on the Arkansas trip with Lonny, fortunately the one tool I had with me at the time was the allen wrench needed. I fixed it in a parking lot while at lunch with everyone.

Unfortunately mine isn’t long enough. It doesn’t cancel the blinker no matter how many times you turn the wheel.

You might have a little bit of adjustment room in your turn signal mount. I remember having to play with mine for a few minutes before I could get the switch to feel solid when banging the switch arm around.
Not sure how far off yours is, but it might be worth checking.

Followed Ctuinstra's lead with the tunnel cap and threaded the tunnel and using M4x.75 stainless steel button head bolts and washers. Also made the cap a two piece for ease of removal.

Doing a little polishing. Raw finish on the right, polished on the left.
Used a cutter key in the drill with Emery cloth on a scotch brite backer. A LOT easier than by hand.

I like the cotter key idea. I have a piece of Scotch-Brite glued to a nail currently that I have used for many things, but this seems like it would work better.
I too polished those bellcranks, but did it by hand. The sad part is, they will eventually oxidize again anyway.

After polishing, gave them a couple coats of clear to keep them from oxidizing. The clear might yellow over time in the sun light though.

Got the shifter and the cables installed. I believe its adjusted correctly. Without the engine running I can shift to 1st thru 4th and reverse. Not really able to get it into 5th all the way.
With the ZZP short shift adapter installed I had to trim off the front of the shifter plastic.

Hack saw cut on the tunnel cover? I like the idea, but mine is already powder coated and I know I'll make a mess with it. I better leave well enough alone.
