Like John said: BEEFY parts. Here are the trim pivot pins, the trim ram pin, and the Hookes joint. Stout.

These Ilmor guys continue to impress. The drive position sensor setup on the Indy is so simple, brilliant and compact that it took me a while to find it and figure it out. Once I did, they promptly helped me out in getting the same parts to read trim tab position as well. I was going to buy the Mercury SmartCraft trim tab sensors at roughly $800 for two tabs, but using Ilmor's setup will only set me back about $120, and is way, way simpler. No more cables!

Started on the engine mounts today. That's a 3/4"-10 UNC bolt you see in the middle...
------------------------------------------ Finished them (except for powdercoat) this morning. Now I have to make spacers to compensate for the attachment points being higher up and farther forward.. |

Got the old dash and wiring stripped out in preparation for the Ilmor stuff, the bilge painted, and the hatches bonded together this weekend. If you've never used Plexus before, be prepared with lots of ventilation. That stuff is intense, but it stuck two fiberglass parts together like they were made as one.
I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel now... |
looks awesome chuck!

I salvaged part of the NACA ducts that we removed earlier to restore the hatch to a smooth profile. I will laminate these in for full strength, then cut the holes for the headers, and start making the blisters. |
Looking good! Your guys are moving along nicely. Man with that hatch some tractor headers would look badass sticking out of the top...not very user friendly though :lolhit:
