Speed Sensor & Magnets


The speed sensor magnets (2 off) are attached to the drive shaft 180 deg apart. The dimples on the magnets are facing out the way.
The sensor is mounted with a 4-6mm gap.

Mounted the Jenveys

Mounted the Jenveys. The wiring harness from the original inlet manifold to be utilised for the new installion.
Location of the fuel system (swirl pot, fuel pump and regulator) components is delaying progress. I am planning on using the Goodridge braided hoses and fittings which will require a different fuel pump and the fuel rail fittings.

Radiator Brackets






Not much progress over the Christmas period other than fitting the radiator brackets fabricated by GBS (apparently the new cars have these fitted).
I have laid out the wiring harness but that causes issues with the routing, bulkhead penatrations etc.

Water Jacket (Raceline)

Having bolted the engine mounts to the chassis the next job was to remove the redundant themostat housing at the back of the engine.

The redundant thermostat was replaved with the Raceline water jacket (which includes the thernostat). The raceline unit moves the thermostat from the rear towards the front of the engine which is more suited to the in-line application a required in the GBS Zero.
