Vaccum Plumbing Finished !

I used some 4mm copper tubing to throw a nice timeless touch to the itb setup. I started by connecting the vaccum line couplers to help me mock these bends up. Started at #1 and just kept on going. These are hand bent using 3 different sized dye and lots and lots of massaging. I started to make juction blocks earlier today out of a 3/4" stick of delrin. The lines will later be rtv'd onto these blocks and then a 3/4 id vaccum hose will be routed to a vaccum manifold i will be making later. Their will be two 3/4 id hoses going to this manifold.















Plugging Unused Ports

I purchased a 9mm 6061 aluminum rod to fill the injector bosses and make for a flush clean fill so the air flow is not altered by any turbulence. I also filled the side ports that the secondary butterfly rod was using.





ITB Spacing Finished

Got my aluminum spacers in the mail. Along with some different raw metal stocks. I made two 280mm 6mm x 1 stainless steel studs out of 6mm stainless stock with a dye to hold the assembly together.
