Last time was only dummy assembly. To measure up bits and pieces.

You get pretty quick at it anyhow.

Hi Cava have you replaced the isolated for the supercharger if not are you going to , I don’t think the new crate motors were change they still have the spring isolator

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

If it’s spring I will be going to a solid isolator.

Ill do it when I have the snout off next.

Roger that I just order one 75 bucks from mace engineering , still waiting on motor next week hopefully

Made a start on the ice box install. Everything is mocked up. I’ll head to Gisborn tomorrow and get the copper flare to JIC spec. Then I’ll come back and tighten it all up and proceed to crimp.

I don’t think flow will be an issue.

Also picked up some billet valve covers with should look the part.

wow that cooper work looks brilliant very nice , I really like the valve covers , I was thinking for mine black valve covers and a white lsa cover as car will be white

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Cheers mate

You will need a scoop to fit the lsa cover. Mine sadly doesn’t fit. Gotta sell it

I have some cleaver ideas and engineering trick to make it work , in saying that it will be a lot of work to make it fit

Assume you going along the lines of k frame spacers etc.

No don’t like them it will be a combo of where I sit the motor and bonnet mods but not having a scoop , fabricating a bulge in the bonnet out of two , that’s my plan hope it works

I second that! Nice work on the copper work Cav 

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Something different I suppose.

After some consideration I’m not 100% on it. I might paint the copper black or possibly even white. Thoughts??

I didn’t take a photo but I’ve also bent up my 1/2 feed line for the fuel system. Must say it’s not fun doing it on the floor, esp when I’m using 1.1mm walled hard drawn stainless.

[RennoParticipant Adelaide, SAVN SS | VX SS View build HERE Member since: March 11, 2016 Posts: 119]

Personally, you’d need to introduce some copper aspects in other areas of the car to make it work 100%. Otherwise it will look a bit out of place just in the boot and under the car. Black would be my next option.

Looks great, what’s the reasoning behind the Copper Cav?

[AndrewParticipant View build HERE Member since: November 4, 2015 Posts: 14]

I thought copper tubing was extremely prone to stress fractures when subject to vibration, doesn’t it go brittle when repeatedly flexed?

[cava454Moderator 93 VR BT1 View build HERE Member since: February 20, 2015 Posts: 2 390]

Copper was free. Cheaper and easier way to do hard line.

We use copper on caravans etc for gas lines. If clipped right it’s ok

This is all hard drawn copper and crimp fittings. It won’t move or bend, unless someone rear ends me
