Did you think about some aluminum or steel for the support of the windscreen? Via lamination between the layers of fiberglass.

Yah I planned on adding some structure with both steel and added layers of glass. Now that I have the foam pulled out the back I’m gonna put it back on the goblin and make a mock windshield with cardboard and see how much room/ clearance there is with the brake booster and such.

I did notice DF uses some simple simple L brackets so maybe it doesn’t need much...

Nice warm day today for curing!

Hood is painted, now to figure out the pins, prop rod or strut, and windscreen

If you can stomach the price the Aerocatch is defintely the way to go. They are nice!

 

[Balphamore]

That came out looking really good. I take it the pivot for the hood. Is going to be near where the windscreen is located?

 

[IDRVSLO]

I love it, cant wait to see it in person.

I’ve used the aerocatch pins before on an S2000 I had, and I do like them (other than the junk hardware they come with). They need about an inch of clearance under the mounting surface which I wasn’t sure I would have. So I went with the old school surface mount Sparco pins.

Plus they’re cheap and they go with all the Sparco stuff already installed!

Spent the evening making this crude bracket for the hood pins using the upper radiator mount tabs. It’s getting crowded down here!

Also got the measurements for the available brooklands screens and made some cardboard templates to see if I would like it...

Not real crazy about it :/ probably going to try a 1 piece template next

Here is a pic of mine installed. It is a little tight but I think it will be okay.
Nuker-

Nuker this was very helpful for my SS build. The barb that is pointing up where does that go to the engine, on the other end near header?

IC system is totally separated from the engine coolant. I can't remember off hand, but I think the 'up' line should go to your fill tube then back down and to the HE.

Ok what I have so far is 2 lines from the heat exchanger in the front back to the engine - unknown location for connection. Then I have a T hose

Some plumbing was finished. Passenger side I ended up using a 1.25" stainless tube. Drivers side I used another aluminum 90 like on the front.

I was able to rotate the intercooler pump so the outlet shot right between the subframe and fuel tank

I'm less happy with the dual pass plumbing which requires 2 tees and a bunch of joints. One day I'd like to re-do this with a custom 3/4 stainless or aluminum junction pipe to reduce the joints and clamps and clutter

Alex I am in the process of piping up the heat exchanger I have (2) PVC pipes coming from the front to the rear do you have clear photos of how it is piped into the engine?

Thank you in advance.

Im coming in late into a discussion but one line should go to the overflow tank and the other to the oil cooler. It doesn't matter which side goes to which within the T as long as they got to the proper place....this is of course as long as the LSJ is the same as the LNF

 

[AleX1/9]

This is the routing I used for my LSJ and zzp dual pass w/ reservoir:

I have photos of the completed plumbing in this build thread, not sure what pg.

Went to my first autocross Sunday, had a blast! The track was cold and somewhat damp and I was struggling to get grip. So I chalked the sidewalls up and found I needed wayyyy less in the front. I ended up at 25psi rear and 12psi front. As the track heated up, and I learned the course, it got really fast and so fun to drive.

How did you do against rest of the field?

Wish I knew, I would've come out to watch.
Was that a BSCC event?

 

[AleX1/9]

How did you do against rest of the field?

There were no other mod class vehicles but here is the group I ran with

@Waterdriver I’ll make sure to give you a heads up on future outings this was BSCC’s last points race

View attachment 2665View attachment 2666 Also added a fire extinguisher to the passenger side dash area. You know, so they feel safe!

Do you have a link to that fire extinguisher I think it’s wise to own one.

Thanks

Wish I had your fiberglass skills....
