Went about making up some heat shields the other evening, try and keep some energy in the exhaust flow and heat out of the rest of the engine bay.

Jonny also made up a bracket to take some of the weight off the long runs of exhaust mani piping.

Over the weekend Fozzy came down to help, put his tart hat on and cleaned up the engine bay for me.

I made up an actuator bracket for the TD05 wastegate and shortened the arm to fit in the available space.

Then we did a test fit as i suspected the EWG was stuck out too far.

So took another picture because i'm whoring this then pulled the engine back out again, will sort out the misfitting ewg another day. Mmmm complicated metalwork...

That's all for now, will be measuring up for oil lines, fitting belts and building up the coolant and intake pipework next. Need to make up some mounts for those heatshields too, something well damped to stop them from rattling.
