I made some mounts for my headlights last week. Not terrible exciting but necessary. 2 tabs took 4 days (spare time). One mount was cut and tested (1 day). Other mount was replicated (2nd day). Hardware acquired - 2 bolts and mounting C clip - Primed Hardware (3rd day). Painted a few light coats and final fitment. (4th day)

PTFE -8 and 8 fittings, waste gate reference lines, Fragola Fittings (need more), Lokar transmission dipstick, Black Sheep Industries turbo blankets, CSF 7065 King Cooler and Weldable 1" bungs have all been ordered. Half of the stuff mentioned has come in through the week and I'm still waiting on the other half.

CSF King Cooler was selected for the compact nature of the radiator, it includes a fan and it has 1" (-16) bung fittings for the water lines. The 1" weld able bungs are needed to make a merge from the two lines coming out of the A2W intercoolers to one line returning to the radiator for cooling. I need to bend up a little water merge to make that happen. That's all the components I needed to make the closed loop work. If this makes no sense... let me know and I'll do more explaining.

I went with Hot Rod Fuel hose... Yeah, different than some of the Fragola I've been using but the price was great. Also, my buddy used it on his build... It looked nice... but we'll see in the long run

Black Sheep Industries has got to have the best stuff out there! I've been a fan of all their stuff so far. The turbo blanket is no exception:

The Lokar transmission dipstick is bad ***:
