Is there a choice of colours? Or any colour long as it's black?

Although it doesn't say so, they do different colours, but not that many!

Here's a few pics of the new projector headlights, (available from Russ of furore cars)
Extremely pleased, and have a good UK beam pattern, construction is high quality and solid - much nicer looking than the standard 7 style 
I'm not 100% sure about the location of them, I'd prefer them lower - but they are at the minimum height for SVA. Maybe I'll move
them further up the body... Comments on the positioning welcome!

Integrate them in the front fenders for swiveling headlights?

Cloudy, they look the dogs! 
Just remember to check that they are no further than 400mm from the outside of your cycle wings (the widest part of the car).
They look a bit too far inboard but I could be wrong.

That only applies to the dipped beam I belileve, which is mounted on the outside - within spec... I may be wrong though!

I just checked the sva manual and I can't believe what it says.
Under each heading of distance/height etc for main beam, it says "No requirement"
So judging by that comment they can be anywhere!

That's how I read it too...
It's only the dipped that is restricted!

I love the lights, but not sure on the position - looks a little, erm, goofy!
I presumed they would sit further up, bit like this...

As you've drawn was the original design, and I agree - I prefer that to the current location
I think I'll move as shown until after SVA at least...

I thought scrapheap series 10 was the last one?? Was that just a vicious rumour spread by Bob?

Slowly progressing with the cooling system...
Dyna 2000 ignition, coils and leads fitted, and another set of carbs as the others were playing up
You can see the two oil coolers, the 34 row one is being used as the water radiator - we'll see how that goes , rather experimental...

Are the radiators too near the exhausts?

No - or I wouldn't have put them there 
In all seriousness, yes - but the exhausts will be either wrapped, or a heatshield will be made to protect the rad
The pictures are deceptive there's a good 4-5inch gap between the two, and most of the heat is convected upwards

Wouldn't you get better air-flow if you turn them 90°?

Yes, but it looks rubbish - There will be ducting to pull air in and force it through

I've moved the lights further up
Have also fitted wing mirrors, and front indicators...
Will get some pictures on the ground again in the light over the weekend along with a full review of the furore lights

I've put the fuel tank behind the seats, but I've got two problems -
a) the proximity to the exhausts - is this something to be concerned about?
b) The seat belt lower mounts are directly under the engine raising up slightly, so the tank would have to move up about 2 inches from this position
(It can't - would have to have a tank made)
So my questions are, do I have a tank made to fit here, or make a bar to keep the belt mount down (I can't move mounts forward as there is no
strong structure) or do I move the tank into the space above the diff. The last options sounds easy - but will raise the CofG and move more weight
over the rear axle...

Personally I don't like the tank in it's current location....
If you had a bit more room, I'd suggest perhaps looking at an MGF tank but as it stands, I think above the diff is the best option...
*but* if you *do* want to keep it in that location, I'd have a talk to Bryn@alifabs about a custom tank ... I was pleasantly surprised at the
cost of mine...
I'd also think about some sort of heat shroud to go between the exhaust / engine and tank...

Another idea is to have two tanks, shaped to fill each side,with a 45 degree end to match the chassis, meaning it clears the exhausts better, and
doesn't interfere with the belts...
Steve, any contact details for alifab?

It's a pity you are not near me, I got a mate to make mine from a pattern that I made in cardboard.
I also agree about some protection. Even if you get warm fuel it will affect your performance.
I have fitted a Aluminium plate with some of that heat blanket (not cheap).

You can see the tank in front of the engine, and I have an aluminium firewall between the tank and my seats. I also have a plumbed extinguisher. I
have seen and met a few motor racing burns victims, so I take no chances!

Nitram- looks like a good solution - to what is basically the same problem,
here's what the 3D model says how tanks should be shaped, looks like a good capacity too..

Made me a near - mm perfect tank for my Fury based on a set of diagrams for less than a smaller standard tank from the manufacturer...

Just one other thing to consider - Nitram's tank is outlined by a kind of cradle which (I should imagine) gives the tank some protection from
the engine in a rear-end impact
