Had a few parts turn up today.

Lower wishbone polybushes:



BMW battery cable:



Gold battery terminals:



Wilwood bias valve:



Then cleaned up and sorted out the battery cable. Mock fitted terminals, just when it gets fitted I will cut it to size to suit the placement of the battery.



Lots more to come!

Cheers bud, yea I know sorry man. Lol

Also forgot to add I had these turn up too, but he sent me red! I needed black lol. So there going back



And also gonna weld a new bulk head in, because as you may know you need to modify it to suit the power cap. Well them days are gonna be over!

I bought a flange so I can make up a 3" bit of pipe to come from the tb instead of the power cap. Gonna look something like the updated let ones.

looking good but you will regret buying them shitty powerflex bushes....... mine lasted about 2k before they were soft as shite.... Speaking from experience here... Should have gone pollyrace alot cheaper and better 90% polyurethane over the powerflex which are 30% and are designed for 1.0-1.6...... I got whole kit for mine too.... (Nic Barnes also had same problem with his)

Keep up the work tho
