Cumulative update for september :)

Progress is going very slowly (like it used to be). Only things, that are seen for experienced eye are changing a bit ;). Like patching and fixing things, that were made not so good and in the hurry or inexpierence.

Further steps in my motor mount construction. Tried to fill empty motor mount with nylon. Main focus was to fill the edge, where nylon can get grip with the alloy part. First it looked okay:
After some home brew machining - it is not looking so good:
Will try to improve construction a bit. But it will be later.

Also there were some tries with new brake setup. 996 caliper fits volvo disks - very nicely:
But who will make caliper carriers. Now I'm trying to master CAD software, just to draw something for guys, who work with metal...

Main job, which I was forced to do was to rearrange fusebox a bit. It was purelly unsafe. Now it is much more safer from electrical point of view (in insulation terms of battery power terminals 30, which can bring fire immediattely after it touches roll cage...). It is still hanging on tie straps, however making some more solid fixings would take too much time and would improve result only by a fraction. White straps will be replaced by stronger black ones which were bought after doing this photo ;). I can even put cover on relays. One thing, that whole construction still is in very uncomfortable position regarding left leg. There is enough room for the operating clutch pedal, but it's tight fit:
