Still on target I think to get done before IVA however I had a bit of a think today and I wonder if I have made a mistake with the heater matrix pipes being a bit near the wiring panel. I know there is not much room but what do you think?

Silicon in the background is the outlet from the heater rad.

Looks OK to me, as long as nothing is directly touching the heater pipes.

Good looking build.

If you are a bit worried you could lag the pipes with some heatshield matting stuff?

Should be fine unless you have a leak. Is the back of the heater blower going to clear the dash?

Just a warning about heater pipes some one on here had a bad accident when a pipe came off and scalded there feet and legs

Looks OK, nice engine by the way

Personally I'd keep the heater radiator out of the scuttle. As already said a hose coming off would be seriously bad....

Heating! in a locost! tsssssssssss!!!

I'm afraid er in doors wouldn't go in it without a screen and heater....

I may box in the pipes and make a drain for it later.... Need to focus on getting it through SVA!

how big is the TURBO?

No Turbo 'yet'! It is an ST170 engine with Dry sump and throttle bodies.

Thanks
