Ok, here we go. We need to cut a nice large
hole in the trunk floor for the sump of the fuel cell to fit
through. |
|
View of the under side of the trunk. As you
can suspect the old fuel tank bracing is right in the way. This is
going to be a pain to cur out.
|
|
Lay out of the fuel cell and the hole for the
sump. |
|
|
|
No going back now! |
 |
As you may know the rules say " When used fuel
cells must have a metal box protecting the part of the fuel cell
that is outside of the body lines or trunk floor, excluding hose
connection area in rear.
So we had to make a box. Metal bending is not one of my strong
points, but this should do. |
 |
It does fit in the hole! |
 |
View form the bottom. Note all the trimming
that took place on the old tank brace. |
 |
Started to weld the "Box" in but ran out of
welding wire. Does anyone know of a welding store open Sunday
evenings?
|
 |
Changed projects, I did not like the black
powder coated fuel cell straps, so I tried the short cut and powder
coated red over the top of black. You can probably guess that it did
not work out well, so I had to strip them and powder coat again in
red. DONE.
I will come back to this project next week to finish it up, after a
trip to the welding shop. |
