I realized I'd probably want the engine inspection cover to be in place ahead of getting it running. As with the radiator shroud, the final version of the cover will need painting before I bond in the carbon panels.
So I dug out V1 of the cover, cut some suitably shaped steel panels, placed them in from the back side and spot welded them in place. From a distance, they almost look like the stamped pieces.
Not the most attractive, but I now have a serviceable and reasonably fire proof fire wall.

The engine is back in for the last time before attempted starting.
Now I just have to wrap up a few items. Today was the under body coolant lines and working up a quick/dirty oil cooler by-pass line.

I need another 90 degree hose to wrap up the connection from the hot side collector to the radiator hose but the feed to the water pump is complete.

And on the oily side of things, I do have an oil cooler but I need to noodle on where to mount it. Until I work that out, this wonky by-pass allows for the start attempt.

I'm getting closer by the hour. Today it was a couple wiring things then hooking up the throttle cable and having it activate the ITBs for the first time!

I figured I should get a video of the action before installing all the velocity stacks and "air filters" (!)

Don't worry about the odd wire you see moving around at the bottom of the screen - it's the excess length of the yet-to-be-trimmed throttle cable.

In keeping with the full disclosure approach: Good thing I video'd the ITB operation.
I thought I'd avoided any interference with the linkage but it turns out there was some!

My zippidy do-da MAT sensor mount fouled the linkage as it approached WOT. Heaven forbid not being able to achieve WOT in this thing...
Anyway, it's nothing a bit of trimming couldn't resolve.

First pic is closed throttle, second is WOT. What's interesting is that the linkage geometry is such that that the last bit of pedal travel moves the linkage arm WAY farther inboard. Anyway, problem solved.

not to be overlooked, those seats are great, what brand?do they mount on stock seat sliders?
