Ive got to jump in here, pocketrocket: have you never seen a rocket before? From what i have seen every rocket built has the sides filled in, and a bulkhead fitted. theres many rockets which now have a full floor fitted, pauls rocket has in fact got more room behind his radiator than pretty much any other build, all of us using standard radiators probably have around 6" between the radiator and bulkhead, then theres all the wiring and plumbing pipes too. I dont understand why this would be an issue on pauls car after so many other successful builds?
wayne.
P.S. madeye, hope your well mate, been ages since weve chatted! good to see some progress, im progressing again on mine thanks to deano!

Pocket rocket, sorry mate, I thought you were under the impression that the back of my Rad was blocked. My nose panels are boxed around the suspension mounts. Leaving the upper part open for plenty of air flow. Its very easy to see when not in a photo. I'll ask dean to copy his video in.
Delano, your video in your build is not there, just a photobucket sign. Can you pop it in here mate ?
Wayne, good to see your fitting your engine :-)
We have the longest builds in history :-)

Cover mounted onto a section of rubber. Just after some big enough card to make the templates for the passenger and driver compartments.  Rubber matting cut and finalized under the swirl pot.  More jobs tomorrow. Spraying in the morning, then I'm making the dam under the fuel tank |

I'm building one I won't bother posting again Mate, none of the replies were meant in a $hitty way, we get enough of that from posts from management about people who don't conform to what MEV or RTR want written. I genuinely didn't get what you meant at first. And Wayne was trying to help, deanos video explains it much clearer. Paul Edit And Steve likes to prove people wrong, just because he's smarter than us all :-) :-) :-) :-) (git) |

A load of etch primer laid down on fuel system. Now for a base coat and top satin finish.
Off now to make the fuel dam.

A disaster of a day, more expense, more work on the furl tank, and had to cut some steel with the grinder through my powder coat.
Unhappy.
I sacked it and I'm going to anglesey for a bit of racing.
I'll update with pics later on.

Looking bottom right on the picture he hatched triangle needs to be removed. Then the filler neck needs to have the angle reduced to allow it pass under the top bar. In a nutshell I think the fuel tank design is $hite too.  |

Pocketrocket.
I agree with what your saying, but it does sound a bit confusing perhaps to others. But forgive me if im wrong. I think what pocketrocket is saying is, for air to flow through a radiator effectively and thus cool, it must flow from an area of HIGH pressure,front of rad, to LOW pressure,behind rad. All is good at this point BUT the air BEHIND the rad,now hot,has to be able to go back to atmosphere to enable more air to continue the flow cycle. If this fails then its simple. The hot air behind the rad has nowhere to go and thus creates a volume of hot air at a similar pressure to front of rad creating an equilibrium of pressures and inducing the dreaded over heating.
So the question is,can the hot air behind the radiator escape to atmosphere or is it a sealed box?

In a nutshell I think the fuel tank design is $hite too. Also on top of the tank you can see the engine breather I made, with the -6 fitting. |

The tank will fit without mods just.
Is that corner chop intended to go all the wall along or only the corner to clear the side rail ?
Mine is lifted 16mm so immediately saw the filler hit the top rail when a piece of heavy wall filler pipe was fitted but the flexible filler hose from CBS sorted that, it is thinner so just fits in, flexible helps to.
The whole debacle came about when the top rail was moved forward, sure there was a good reason for that but such a design change has to be followed through to all affected components, such as tank and COR.
What valve is on that breather?
