OZ930 Posted 27February, 2023 Report Share Posted 27February, 2023 I have listened to your explanation and I still have a question. Are you sure that vacuum opens the secondary ports? I would have thought that vacuum closes the ports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ended up buying the original Ferrari vacuum tank and some solenoids to actuate it as Ferrari intended tomo, 3legs and OZ930 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3legs Posted 30April, 2023 Report Share Posted 30April, 2023 Hey Jeff, just thinking out loud here but an extention of the radiator cover shaped to cover all the vacuum tubes and front of engine would look good. Sort of fits between the 2 air intakes. Hopefully that makes sense. Whether that affects the cooling i'm not sure but would make it look less "messy".

I might consider something like that later, but as the bonnet flips forward you are always going to be looking at the sides of the engine anyway. 3legs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZ930 Posted 11June, 2023 Report Share Posted 11June, 2023 Interested to see how you do the rear seat area. I keep thinking about how good it would look with bucket seat style rear seats...but I know that's not the plan. Well done. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
