It's a capillary line for the water pressure. I fixed it today after I saw that picture. :p

Hatch is ON!

...and the last details finished underneath. Coolant tanks back in and the starboard door on the new diamond plate platform.

Those of you with keen eyes may have noticed that I did indeed find and install replacement stickers on the flame arrestors. (I dare you to try and find some of those babies.)

Back to the marina tomorrow, and a few final touchup jobs.

I see that you found the bracket for the hatch ram:cool-smiley-011: Give me a call when you can Chuck.

Todays the day!! Back to the marina with her:cool-smiley-011::D It was a learning experience helping out Chuck.....Now wait til I pull my AT all apart. www.mcmastercar.com :D Let the Blingin' Begin!

I need to check the Formula forum more often.. Great project, and looks awesome...Looks like you'll Have a fun summer:cool-smiley-011:

Looks Great looking forward to seeing it on the bay

Great job Chuck!!! You amaze me with the way you handled this project. I don't think I know anyone as organized and focused as you. You handled so much without ever losing your cool and always with a great attitude and a smile on your face. Your engeneering talents show in every detail and unlike most engeneers I know, your engeneered designs all work! I wish I had the patience, organizaton, and mechanical ability you have.

Congratulations to you and Dianne, I know you BOTH worked very hard on this and you both did a fine job.

Now lets break out some WINE!!! :ernaehrung004:

Take care,

Rob
