and another small component which works with the antenna signals, then interfaces into the ecu. MPH (or KPH) Speeds are determined by how fast the 914 travels between 2 satellites (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Routing the camera coax line through small passages...less drilling is always good ! Black cable sits in a small groove inbetween the cowl + dash top.

This is the custom right side coolant line cover-plate that Ben @mb911 mfg for us. It's perfect for our use, and since I've elongated the oe opening.. only a small 2×3" piece of sheet is needed to seal it up.
Thank you Ben for the pair of cover-plates (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Ready for engine bay mounting, then finish hooking into the ecu wire harness.
The upper 6mm bolt at the top of bracket will be a fastening point for 1 of the fire suppression nozzles.

My graphic arts buddy Sam creatively at work with the 8gtt livery; a spicey twist on the #40 style.
He's also making us a couple extra rooftop "Sonauto" banners, as the sticker on #40 took
to the wind while under speed at RR7 Laguna Seca. We did get lucky tho as it stuck itself down to the rear plexi window !

Check out the roof banner / transplanted to the rear targa window...stuck just long enough to finish several exhibit laps; one more lap it would have been into the weeds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This is the Bosch 12v coolant pump which will be utilized for the trans cooler radiator. Its main use is for the heater system in Mercedes; but also used by Magnacharger (kits) in their supercharger intercooling just under the blower /integrated in the intake manifold. These are built stout and I've only changed 1 pump in 200k miles of use in my supercharged '05 F150 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

That is neat. In the 70’s my brother and I would make cannonball runs from LA to San Diego. I was driving and he was in the back seat watching our six with binoculars. Not as clean as your setup but it worked.

Trans cooler resevoir; basic location and bracket designing. The small expansion tank is sourced from the Ford parts bin; 2004 4.6 supercharged Mustang.
