A close up of the anti vibration mount , utilising the original bumper mount hole.
The sound in this video still does not do it justice, it has to be heard in real time to appreciate the full sound. I was driving at around 40mph with my windows closed and i could hear birds singing!!!!! It is sooo quiet, it purrs.
hey dude looks good. have you had any one stand round the back while you start her up to see how much twist is being put on the centre T??
ReplyDeleteNo, not as yet. This is a point I have not fully considered. My initial idea was to copy the empi & thunderbird approach by using a jubilee clip to strap them to the rear manifolds, allowing the whole engine & exhaust sytem to move independantly from the bus. But whilst refitting the bumper I noticed that I could use the bolt hole to secure the twin R1s. The mounts are quite flexible to the hand so I am quite happy about some play. What if I was to fit some hard short springs and slacken off both top and bottom nylocks to allow greater movement but no rattle?
ReplyDeleteNice work DirtyEpic! ;) The vibration is a worry, but I reckon some hi temp rubber straps would do the trick: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130272244907&cguid=bff98a6c11d0a0e205112401ffb3ee4a
