Wooden Wheels

One of my Cobra Club buddies (thanks Rob!) recommended making some wooden wheels to help me do a rough adjustment of the track, caster, camber and toe. I thought this was an excellent idea given the infintely adjustable setup I have on the Pace design. So I've made two disks the same diameter as the wheels and tyres I am running, and the same bolt patter as the hub.



I know the ride height I'm after, so I just need to remove the suspension pushrods and support the wooden wheels at this height, and then I can measure and set all the above.

Of course, the real wheels and tyres probably look a little nicer!

Fuel System

Stainless hard lines run front to rear for the fuel. Being an LS engine, I don't need a breather line so a single hardline run from the rear to the engine.



The rest of the lines are all stainless braided lines. I have a rock filter (reusable, cleanable) for larger rubbish in the lines fitted beside the diff cage, and then a fine filter and high pressure in-line pump fitted into the trans tunnel. The regulator and fuel pressure gauge is fitted above the diff.





The aluminium fuel tank is baffled and has a low central collection point to reduce supply starvation.
