Mr. G. Brettin's Slow Motion Leg Hump

gbrettin · 10-19-2020, 03:22 PM

The clearview has been mounted. There are two mounts. one that mounts to the wheel well and one that the clearview mount hooks into. I probably could have just welded the metal to the fender, but I thought I wanted options for the future.

Welding the plate in was a PITA. The plate was hard to fasten down and then tack. The plate shifted slightly after I made a few tacks which required me to fill some gap. Well, while I was filling gaps I started making new holes on shock tower. My swear words used in the weld session was about as big as the weld on the shock tower. I'm not really worried about the massive amount of weld TBH. I ground down 90% of it with 60grit. The amount of metal dust created in the shop was substantial.

The access hole needs to be opened up a bit more, 2 inches of the filter doesn't clear.

Aside from that... I have hose and fittings coming from Motion Raceworks. AND..... I just remembered I need to hook up my oil cooler... Piss... I probably needed to order more hose and fittings. GD it. Actually, I think I have some hose left over. WHEW!

On a side note, I picked up another hood from Scott, well actually Damian's old hood. Thanks guys!
