New from factory, with official honda part number Yes, hard to find so i had to put the price ^^

Time for an update! Bob is showing his age in the face now so I spent an afternoon fingering it, this is how it went.

they look like powder coated aluminium, and easy remove so aren't difficult to clean up and renew.....unless you snap a stud off! Engine builder sent me these images of the engine build so far Can't wait to drop this into the bay!

Some small jobs on the weekend, trying to complete the ECU wiring and tackled the snapped roof bar stud Went back and started from the middle, and twisted the bundle of wires in layers. The ends nearest the plug all had a small curl put in the wires for strain relief once the heatshrink went on Had to extend a few wires for the Lambda so a good excuse to try these new heat shrink solder joints I found online, worked pretty well and look good Pinned the AEM puck wires in a separate shielded cable as per the other side of the loom Want to run the loom up the bulkhead, across and out to the roll cage where the ECU will sit so did a test run first to make sure it fitted. I've since heated and shaped the loom to fit nice and tight to the top of the fire wall to clear the extinguisher pipe Okay, the dreaded snapped roof stud. Had to protect the paint first with several layers of tape just in case before I drilled the stud out and through into the cabin Careful pilot hole..... and it comes through clear of the cage and in a easy place to work from the inside, phew! Time to drill it to size and paint the area to protect it EZ-out on the stud in the t-nut Back on with the end of the roof rail Just the nut to paint and seal later on Will continue the wiring in the week.

Dave as well because they both sound like broken records

More small jobs over the weekend - Function 7 LCA Brace - ARB There are a pair of additional support brackets that need to be fitted, unfortunately once again these were not designed for the Aerodeck!, time to modify.... These go inside the subframe for the brace and ARB brackets to attach to. The ARB brackets also had to be modified as the holes don't quite line up so just had to drill them out slightly Forgot to take pictures underneath so I'll do that this weekend. Car is on all 4 wheels and mobile again though! Sunday was wiring, so fitted all the chassis loom to the front of the car down the inside of each wing. Had to support the trunking in the wing so went for some riveted wire guides Protected the cable as it came through the chassis so it doesn't rub Other side, slightly different run as I had a little less cable to work with So just the headlight and fan plugs to wire up and the engine bay is done. Started the loom from the milspec to the ECU but ran out of wire Also fitted the next part of the oil system ahead of the engine install Fitted the oil temp and pressure sensors to the remote oil filter mounting
