Splitting

I had the whole evening in the work shop, and I got loads done.

I started out by mounting the dry sump tank, the brackets where bolted up to the passenger foot well bulkhead and the floor was drilled so that the oil can be drained from the system by dropping the sump plug. I have worked on a number of cars where you have to remove the tank to change the oil. a job that all ways seamed to end up with oil being spilt all over the place.

I added some heat shrink to the jubilee clips and shrank it in place. This is to prevent the clips abrading the tank over time and eventually making a whole or creating another failure.

The tank was slotted in to place, the straps tightened and job’s a carrot. Now I can measure up for the oil lines. There is more clearance between the oil tank and the throttle bodies than it looks in this photo so the air box should fit with out a problem.

Then it was on to the splitter. When I received the kit from Rob the splitter was fitted sandwiched between the Aluminium floor and the chassis. However as I bonded and riveted the floor on the car some time ago I had to trim the center section of the splitter to fit it back on the car.

Once the splitter was in place I was able to start marking out how the floor will be trimmed to give clearance for the wheels at full lock.
