The tub mounts with 10 attachment points.
Four on the sides and six through the floor.
Bushings extend through the tub floor and locate in the frame front and rear.
The outer units are flush with the floor.

Some other angles of the tub mounted.

Last two.

Now we need to run some wiring.

Four glands, two on each side should be enough???.

Looking good Mikey! Keep it up! 

[tauruck]

Thanks Joe.

Reached another "millstone".

Pics later.

None of you rats ever said building a liner was insanity!!!!!!

Think back Mate.

Yup, I had to blame someone!.

Some pics of the mounting of the nitrogen tank for pneumatic jacks.

It's a work in progress. Finding space for four tanks isn't easy but having one on each side
forward of the jacks is a go.

The other two will mount on the left side opposite the battery.

Made a metal ring to locate the canister and set it up on a plate to be welded later.

I found a mount for an extinguisher off an old F2 car here so I split it in two.
I clamped it to the cylinder and started to fabricate a mounting.

[tauruck]

I'll use the other half of the mount for the left side.
Some HD square tubing with a drilled plate welded to the chassis turned out OK.

[tauruck]

I drilled and bolted the parts. It went together nicely so I started with the inner mounting plate.

[tauruck]

Got a way to go yet but here's a long shot of the setup.

   Mike, Get an opinion other than mine, but I think you may need one. The rules say that with fire bottles hose clamps are not acceptable. We used 3/8 muffler clamps. They may say that high pressure Nitrogen tanks are in the same catagory. Sure wish they would string some new telegraph cables out your way.

Mike, I thought exactly the same thing when I saw the clamps. I'm fairly certain I wouldn't enjoy those bottles flailing about in an "occurance".  Wayno

[tauruck]

The first post said "work in progress" which is what it is.

I'm setting up stuff and welding bits together.
The clamps you see are a temporary thing.

It made it easier with all the taking off and refitting.
I've been with you guys long enough to know that "overkill" is my friend
but thank you both for your comments and I appreciate where they come from.

It's both tough and cool working with you guys kinda looking over my shoulder all the time.
Doug, the email is working but there is some conflict with the send part. I get your mail
and when Greg gets back in 2 weeks we'll be back 100%.

The car is coming along and patience has won over.
Off to Bosch today for another meeting. EGT Lambda, pumps, alternator, starter and other stuff on the menu.
My liaison was in Germany last week for a managers meeting and showed the guys pics of my liner.

He said the guys from North America were particularly impressed and surprised. They couldn't believe what we're doing in South Africa. The feedback from HQ was that they should give me anything I need, no limit.

Having Bosch behind me is a big boost. Funny thing is that some idiot I met at Guido's classic car club said they wouldn't even talk to me let alone back me.
