Besides the OCC's orientation?

 

You guys got one out of three Given up My 5 year old beat you guys to it already

 

sight gauge is pointing at 9 o'clock on one pic and 6 on the other

 

That's two out of three, Diablito

 

looks like there is a bolt now holding the can to the bracket on the second that doesnt appear on the top pic

 

Unless it is my eyes, it appears that the large nut (10 o'clock from the ground point) is off of the mount...

 

Ok...the third thing is that I tapped new holes in the OCC so it could sit down lower. Before I go on, I need to clarify that M7's mounting design in the cowl area is very straight forward (much less work). There is no mounting or clearance issues if you follow the instructions that are included. I chose to put my self through this because I'm a glutten for punishment and wanted to see if it would fit in the area behind the hinges. Primarily, I wanted it to be more prominant because it IS so well crafted

The top image looked like a perfect solution until I tried to close the hood. The orientation of the sight tubes were interfering with the lamp assembly But because there were two seperate tapped mounting points on the OCC's body and one for the sight tubes, I inverted the body in order to obtain the position for the tubes to clear, hence, the upside down M7 logo. I then lowered the mounting by taping new holes. I hope Peter's not too upset with me for going off on this tangent LOL. In the end, I feel it was worth the extra effort to put this work of art out front where it belongs.

And yes Tony...the first image didn't have the engine NUT on yet

 

Ah, it is lower! The nut still appears to be missing though... like there's a bunch of washers in its place...

 

What? No no...look at the bottom picture...it has the nut in place

 

Oh, I see it in 2nd photo alright... I didn't see you address this above, thus me bringing it up again . Did you torque it properly?

 

50ft lbs?

 

Accordingy to Bentley, 218 ft-lbs.

No, I'm kidding. If you have the manual, check-out page 117-22:

Hydraulic engine mount to body = 100 Nm or 74 ft-lbs.

The hydraulic engine mount to engine mounting bracket is indeed 50 ft-lbs, but I think you want the first one...

 

the bottom photo has bolts in it, the top photo is not boloted in.

 

Those are stand-offs for M7's front splitter .

Highly recommended

 

Hey...where's the participation? The title of this thread is "What's YOUR winter project?" Maybe I should change it to "My winter project"

Day 26...two stage switches are ready for N2O

 

My winter project is reading your winter project.

 

That's what I figured Maybe I will change the title of this thread....but it won't let me

 

Well, my witer prodjectswere and are as follows.

TCE BBK all the way around.
Alta crank pulley
Built-By-Bones sports bar with optional bars
And whatever I decide to be next. Most likely seats, front camber plates, head and cam ???

Nitrous might be fun. Have you run your's yet Sid? What's it like?

 

No, it's a disaster outside How about some images of your project

 

Alta crank pulley! What does it do? I'm just too lazy to search.

 

I don't know? ..... get's me another two cool Alta decals to add to my collection of about 20! My kid's love these things. There stuck on everyone's laptop around here.

Have a look at this post. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=35290
I posted some photos on page 2

I should have a clear feeling if this thing is worth it by weeks end, depending on weather.

 

My winter project is booring. Yours is like watching open heart surgery .

I will be adding a Miltek exhaust, and some lighter white wheels with better rubber, likely the Exel TZ-10's like Ryephile has. Maybe white bonnet stripes.

 

One of the better looking rides I have to say. His photos in "show me your wheels" thread are sweet.

 

Ok.... Sid you requested my winter project.. As you know it's the TVR resurrection! Painted the body last fall...Built a spray booth in the garage! But hey it had to be done BEFORE it got cold!!! The chassis is ready to be reunited as soon as I get a new wiring harness. So...basically not to write a book, I'm reassembling the car...finally! Anyway, not sure how many know what a TVR 25000 M is but it's English, and pretty rare at 938 built. I've owned it since 1987 and decided to do a frame off when it was hit by a rat bastard drunk in 1997. I was going to sell it for the Elise but it looks like the TR6 will have to go instead. Anyway, not too much on the MINI this winter and it looks like after finishing the bathroom and redoing the garage, little will be added this year... just an exhaust and carbon fiber nose piece for the intake. Maybe a rear sway bar. The big brake kit will have to wait but maybe I can get new pads etc before the Dragon. Tough call since the Elise may be in by the..... Means..NO CASH for a bit! That's ok since I did get my wheels and springs last year!

 

Love that color Chris I'm glad you decided to keep the TVR
