This is looking fantastic, where did you get the Dynamat from and was it expensive? I will be at the stage of insulating soon and need ideas like yours!

I bought the dynamat off a seller on eBay. It's quite pricey, I bought the big kit with 9 sheets for about £140 - so far used 2 boxes if it!. I did try some cheap stuff but it was crap!

 

[Matt_B]

A little bit of progress on the engine - nice new K&N's have gone on - should be going in sooooooon!!!!!!

Will change the breather so it feeds into the carbs.

Very smart looking engine 8)

Why do you want the breather going into the carbs??

 

[Matt_B]

Fitted the FireTech extinguisher at the weekend in readiness of the engine being installed. The original fireboards cleaned up nicely

 

[gninnam]

Nice job with the Firetech 8)

Those are your original engine boards :shock:

Have to have another look at mine.

 

[Matt_B]

I'm assuming they are the OG boards, they had red paint on them from the previous spray-job, and that must be 10 years+

The boards certainly look OG as they were all perfectly cut and have an inch wide pressing all around the edge and are made from a hessian/matting type material.

I may be wrong as I know I've read on other threads of people having holes in theirs. So happy to be told otherwise.

Thanks mate- The linkage is Gene Berg - very well made bit of kit

 

[Matt_B]

Been very busy recently but most of it has been wiring so nothing that has justified an update with pictures. Today the engibe went in hasn't had one in for nearly a year :shock:

A couple of weekends ago I also re-made the board that goes in the cargo area (some free ply that my Devon roof cap go transpoted in ) fitted it last night - fitted first time - well happy.

So engine in and running pretty well, no MOT so can't get on the open road

Just finished off checking all the electrics, put mirrors on, seatbelts on - MOT booked for Saturday morning :shock:

This is looking great Matt 8). Good luck with the MOT and hopefully see it out and about in the area soon.

Agree with banana

I must see it when it's on the road again !

 

[Guest]

its looking fantastic.

afaik the original fireboards were perforated with 10p sized holes and had wrapped yellow fiber insulation behind.

 

[Matt_B]

Sat waiting for the mot result, for some reason I'm expecting a "failed" but most likely on some thing minor, but fingers crossed !

 

[Matt_B]

Woohoo - passed

Just a couple of advisories - bit of play in track rod and bit of play in 2 wheel bearings. I'm a happy boy

Nice work Matt all the hard work has paid off 8)
