Wow you have really pushed through to get it back together. You have certainly spent some quality time with her and it shows.

Keep it up and you will have it back on the road soon!

Nothing like snapping a cold start bolt in intake to slow forward progress. I'll deal with it tomorrow...lesson learned here is don't work on your car when you are pissed off.

Oh what fun that will be. It's a M6 bolt, if my memory serves me right.

Judging from the image scale.

It converts to a M6 x 1.00 x 65 L

Bolt lengths measure from the bottom of the Head. Not the way it's shown in the image. So if you mentally slide the bolt to the left A little, the other end is just over 2.5" 2.5 converts to 63.5 mm.

So a little over 2.5 would be 65 mm.

had a buddy drop off my intake at a machine shop locally here for me cause I don't have time to deal with that crap with work. Gonna pic it up early next week and get back to putting the top end together. Rich hooked me up with a few critical parts that I had been waiting on. what sucks is that I missed out on a regrain oportunity with Chris from UK and Rob Grady this weekend in Orlando also because of work. progress will continue next week. Ill have to catch those guys next time the opportunity presents itself.

Still waiting on my intake so I needed some small victories. Installed the Shifter boot that Rob sent me, and reinstalled the passenger seat after removing it for fuze box job. Started to install the DPI exhaust and it didn't come with any hardware for the mounting brackets, no exhaust grommets, and no hardware for the grommets, so I emailed him, hopefully get that resolved soon but a pretty easy install. Put the rear tires back on.

Can any one help me remember were to put this ground wire that's in the last picture? I dont remember what its for or where it goes.
