Hammerite does everything. FACT, brakes, body work, engine blocks, black shoe polish you name it, it does it

Used it before. Was awful stuff. Hammerite has been epic. Esp the spray on semi metalic that I have used on all the little parts. Looks epic, easy application and has stood test of time

What was supposed to be a productive late afternoon of little jobs to get ready for the engine in the bay...
That was after I had ground the cracks....
Welded them. Welded in a plate. Broke out the hammerite.
Slapped in the new mount.
Here is to tomorrow.....

Yeah.
I messed up asuming 206 and 306 mounts were the same. Gotta do it all again with a 306 mount. Hey ho.
Makes that video a bit rubbish. I'll save the mount...never know where the engine may end up

Thanks fella.
I need to tackle the subrame mount bolt this afternoon that snapped its not the big 18mm...that came half a turn and went all nasty...so i removed the two 13mm headed bolts instead...well I removed one. ONE.
The other came about 5mm out and then just snapped.

Feel like steps arent always forward with this car... Engine in...but wrong mount... Hubs off but one has snapped bolts...subframe off but seized/broken cup...
Got arms built up at least
Bash is sorting me with a engine mount and heat exchanger hoses.
Toseland thinks he may have a subframe cup.
Ordered wheel bearing.
Alex "WK" is sorting manifold piping and more flanges.
Once those turn up.... Can get engine mounted right. Subframe and suspension all on. Then start building the manifold.
Once turbo location is done.
Then coolant anf boost piping needs to be done

Update:
New bearing in with new 4 stub hub. As opposed to the old 2 stud.
Update over.

Seems a bit thick walled for a manifold doesn't it? Or just for mock up purposes?

scaff tube ftw
i'd be using steam pipe or thick walled pipe of some description if i were doing another turbo manifold.
so much more added strength.
log ftw!

This is seamless thick walled stuff. I want it strong as can be/longevity.

Right im gonna throw my 2p in now. Whats wrong with a log manifold? As long as its a good size it should be fine. Im yet to talk to piggy about his power "aims" however most atuff this will be fine for imo. If his really really gonna push it to within the last inch of its life then maybe it could be better. Ive seen some friggin quick cars on log manis

There's no doubt it'll work and make good power it's just not the most efficient way of doing things, but as said I don't know what piggy wants out of it or where he's going with it, turbos work off exhaust pulse which I'm sure you know, a tubular/collector style manifold will have very little turbulence maximising the energy given from the exhaust pulse, a log style manifold generally has a lot more turbulence which will cause the exhaust pulse to lose energy making the turbo spool slower and lose power top end, But if it works for what he wants it for then fair enough but if you're trying to get the very best out of it it's not the most efficient way of going about it

A log manifold is the worst type of manifold for power.
I suppose with all the effort and attention to detail that's going into this I'd just expected the manifold to be done to the same standard.
