Units all done bar the evap. Will see if i can scrim a copule of £ to get the metal soon...
 
Very good minus a few things that can be improved... First off, vibration will not be good with those little straps around the suction line. Unless you plan to remove thos when you insulate. ALso with the capillary, run it straight across the suction to the very end and wrap it there. Its colder there, then use electrical tape to keep it on.
 
Well few more things arrived in the post today!

Main items being the Manifold and charging lines. Other than that theres some Armaflex tubes, 3m of 3/8" tube and a couple of couplers and a valve.

Will be ordering the Metal for my evap tomorrow with a bit of luck too.

Evap metal.

May have to wait for a couple of days before i start milling, but its here waiting atleast.
 
Hehe, cheers guys.

Unforntunatly due to a nice turn of events today, im probably going to have to suspend this againg:(. Basicly my replacement motherboard came through, it was the wrong one, but right socket, tired it out and my found out my CPU is dead.

So i need a whole load of new inards! :mad:

What progress i can make without spending i will plow on with though. Should get a chance to start on the evap on the weekend. And possibly the only good thing to happen today:

Have been umming and rring over which laythe is best suited for this job for a while with the old man and finaly decided the smaller one would be a better option.

Got about 2mm into the 1st step and the moter needs too cool. But by that time i need to be in work, so its persuade dad too cary on for me time:p.

Chars guys.
 
Awesome Ham, great to see some progress. Your evap will turn out better then the one I'm making with less sophisticated tools.
