Steve,
I'm not familiar with the term "pro light". How is it wired in the system, and for what function? I'm familiar with the adjustable shift light, set just below redline, but not a second light. I'm showing my ignorance again, but that's OK....

Roger, they are available as Shift lights or Warning lights, Just a cool name for a big warning light really.

Low oil pressure Roger

Post 1471.....Just thinking that the stainless will turn a bit blue with heat. Guess that's just chrome. Some of the ISAC cars couldn't compete for awards if they wouldn't start them. I never could see building a car that you couldn't or wouldn't use. You got to be about nuts waiting for those heads..

Charlie your not wrong pal, the heads are driving me nutz !!! Got an email 2 weeks ago on the saturday saying they were ready to ship, then on the monday they told me one of the heads had to be redone as it had broke through to the water jacket
I've more or less written racing it off this year now

.

Been amusing myself sorting all those pesky little jobs while I await my heads, one job thats been bugging me is the edge of the doors where the windows are, been looking for a rubber trim for ages, found a few close ones but no cigar until I saw one in the Baines Rubber catalogue, sent for 4 metres and it fits absolutely spot on !!! Even fits nice around the tight corners, I stuck it place here and there with some contact adhesive.






.

looks like a Factory job as usual

Very nice!

Changed my prop loop, I had a flat bar type that was like a big oval but it looked a bit crappy, So made a bolt in jobbie, It looks heavy but its not as a lot of it is 3/32 plate.

Sweet looking new loop. Also nice find on the window seal. At some point I'll have to address same issues with truck, but way down the road I think!

Great work on your new bracket! I admire how you build these pieces and seem to always put a spin on them but make them look like a manufactured piece.

Well very little to do now, just scratching around looking for stuff really, Got an email on monday saying my heads have finally been shipped, with a bit of luck i will have them saturday morning. Was hoping to make the Hotrod drags with a bit of luck.

Treated myself to a couple of Stewart Warner mechanical gauges, Fuel pressure on the left & Boost gauge on the right.

Had to fit a fuel gauge isolater as fuel not allowed inside car in drag rules, the isolator can't be fitted on the firewall as that not allowed either, Mounted it to the firewall tube, plumbed them in with stainless hoses.

Steve is the isolator a type of pressure sending unit?

Hi steve, no not really, you can't have fuel inside the car so the fuel goes as far as the isolator, then the isolator uses a diaphragm to pass the pressure to the other side, then the line from the isolator to the gauge is filled with 50-50 antifreeze/water.
Hope that makes sense ?
