Good evening all
all seems to be going well with the rebuild, I am currently setting up the wiring harness all of the front suspenssion is in the radiator is ready to be mounted.
I have decided to move the location of the battery in to the back of the car as I intend to make some sort of boot space in the very near future, the old battery space
now been converted to a small storage box so I can carry emergency break down parts such as plugs point and odds and sods.
I came across a small problem after the engine was fitted and the steering shaft was in place, there is no room for an air box so I have had to build a custom plenumb chamber to feed air to the carbs. I have included some pictures and the sketches if it is any use to anyone who is building a car with a Triumph engine in.20170717_211606.jpg20170721_214028.jpg20170721_214036.jpg20170721_214053.jpg20170722_140406.jpg20170722_154009.jpg20170722_165831.jpg20170722_190927.jpg20170722_195201.jpg
At the moment I am deciding if I should keep the box as polished alloy or spray it either gloss black or metalic blue to match the engine.

and i think, i would do it gloss black so there is a nice effect between carburettor and the crome cooler;
