Order Progress

Spoke to Chris today, Arranged for everything including the floor to be powdercoated tangerine. Discussed a number of points of confusion for me, the brake flexible hoses will be m10x1 male on the end, so I need to convert them to 1/8th ntpf somehow. I might just whip the ends off and stick an NTPF fittings, or at least M10 Female. Ordered a 6Gallon tank, a bit small perhaps, but will do nicely for now, complete with baffles, a sump, and return pipe. We're still not sure on the uprights, in theory standard Escort ones should be fine, but I was planning on putting Alloy hubs on, so I need to check that they fit the smaller stubs. I shall place an order at raldes sometime later today.

On the list of things to do is:

  • Check the price for the fuel tank
  • Confirm the colour code that the whole kit and kaboodle will be powder coated
  • Check with Rally Design that the hubs will fit
Chris recons the order will be ready mid to late November, which is more or less Ideal as I'll be back from Supercomputing and the US no later than the 8th of December.
