We left the port flare setting lastnight so whenI came to it this morning the PU foam had gone off and wel and truly locked it all together
Front of the flare this morning
and the back
And after the wife cleaned it allup
You can also see in the backof that pic - we made a start on covering in the box walls with filler
I had alot of FD resin left and had ordered some talc thatcan be mixed with the resin to provide apretty nifty large coverage filler
We made a bucket load up
No real substitute for proper body filler but gave a nice coverage to start with
Progress really being made now
While the filler was drying I made a start on the cabling. The plan is to run 5 power cables front to back - 2 positive direct from the alts and 2 earths direct from the alt mountings and a 3rd positive from the battery +ve terminal. I also have to run 3 rca leads 6 pairs of speaker cables epicentre control cable and remote leads
I already cut ahole in the rear to allow the cable in and haveadded some 50mm flexitube to allow a safe entry grommet for the cable
was a mission getting the cable over the petrol tank
Cable going up over the rear axle - I figure if they can run brake and fuel lines over it then its safe for my cable! The observant among you will have spotted im one earth cable short - I all out of earth cable so am waiting for some more
You can see t he cable coming into the engine bay in this next pic - as im still waiting for the final cable I havnt tied any of the cable upyetbut it will be allsecured. the area to the right ofthe grommet in thebellow pic os where the rcas and speaker cable will be leacing the passanger compartment to be run under the car with the power
The cable in the engine bay making its way to the alt
Plenty of slack
We had some resin and a small amount of talc leftso mixed upan almost screed likebatch of resin to smooth the floor of the box - the line were the filler stops will be the line for the back of the box
Another good day - I also cut and bonded theport length (approx 250mm long) and bonded and cut the rear wall which will be 700mm from the front wall - meaning a box tuning of arounf 36hz
Tomorrow (mondays) work will be lots of sanding andputting in the port and rear wall
