The 'Cossybus'-updates!

Postby mantav8 » Sat Apr 05, 2008 7:47 pm

Thought I'd better start a new thread as today saw the offical start of the conversion!
managed a bit today,got di lump out,prop,tank etc off,anyhow the pics..........

Image
Gave the engine bay a quick clean ready for paint tomorrow,
Image
Then a trail fit of this,complete with gutted cats,new belt and a good clean!
Image
Last but not least,I kept the Scorpio sender in the hope it would fit my tank-it doesn't! LOL!
So I came up with this,a hybrid of my sender with the Scorp pump fitted as the sender resistance was wrong also-this cures the problem!
Image

BTW,anyone wanting a good Di lump and G/Box let me know! :mrgreen:

I take it you mean the engine?-was thinking £200 for the lump and £50 for the 'box.
Both obviously fine as removed for the Cossy,done 108k if memory serves,
Cheers,
Daz. :wink:

I need an exhaust manifold from a bannana lump (twin downpipe) if whoever buys the engine doesnt need it...
