Turbo plenum for k twinky engine

mine will be turbo and itb's. the little trumptes, tb's and plenum will mean space is at a premium but with the rear of the slam panel cut out to the grill it should be doable.

Rad bracket small and easy?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

So I understand correctly, a guage holder for 4 gauges mounted on the a-pillar?

Pillar gauge pod is a great idea. Radiator brackets, rockers cover, radiator cowl, a+ dizzy retainer, etc..

yes gauge pods 4 binnacle ones, 2" i would take 2 off you

My List so far then

A-panels - done
Bonnet - done (consider a 16v variant of my own if someone wants to commission one)
Boot - tooling underway now

Gearstick cup - awaiting something to copy
Switch panel - seems easy, again will look to get one to copy. Would people want these blank, or cut with switch holes?
Rad bracket - again, just need one to copy.

A-pillar gauge holder - needs a bit of thought, but looks ok as a winter project.

I have managed to cannibalise a sierra cosworth heater vent guage holder to fit in the switch panel area aswell come to think of it.

Unfortunately, other than the body panels already mentioned, none of these get me anything for my car!

Carbon spoiler, diffuser, splitter, air dam, clubman sport front spoiler, standard special arches in carbon to allow for arch chopping, boost pipes, carbon sunroof blanks

This was fairly simple to make, was hoping to be the only one with one though ha ha

BHP sells engines, but Torque wins races!

what about a radiator cowling?

How about the clutch and brake arm/pedal. Could you make em strong enough?

Yes, but there's no way I'm having a brake pedal, made at home, on someone else's car!

Yeeee of little faith! Lol

I was thinking of something a little more shaped and purposeful. Rather than one cut from a flat sheet.

Id have bumpers? Rear splitter? Door cards? Carbon blank for running internal gear linkage? Carbon mk1 moustache sounds good. Miglia arches? Wiper hole blanks? Bonnet pin plates instead of the shity plastic ones sold at mini shows.
Switch panel for savage swithces not the old mini shite.

All I can think of for nowww

With regards to the handles, could a steel insert be put into the carbon to hold the lock?

Clubman bonnet? I know its hardly going to fit your need for round nose parts... but id sure want one!
Diffuser sound interesting too, I was going to make an ally one for myself at some point but I sure am a tart for Carbon on a black car

David.

I must admit, I've looked over them quite a lot, but dismissed the idea as I couldn't be bothered with all the r&d. Think maybe I should take a fresh look.

Corner of my garage??

Force split rims? Spare engine? Carbon door skin? Oven? There's all sorts in there.

Boot hinges? Mk1 no plate hanger and light. Headlamp rings. Rear light clusters. Not sure any of this would suit my car but just some ideas

I'd be interested in boot hinges and a mk1 numberplate light!

Could you do anything for the gear stick shaft itself? For those not running KAD at least!

I'd be very interested in some external door handles. It'd save me the effort of modifying the standard ones I have.

In the 13's at last!.. Just
