THINGS THAT GO VROOM

REAR SHOCK SEALS

May 18, 2010 by Troy 2 Comments

I got the rearend of the Race Wagon back together, and made a set of seals around the rear coil-over shocks to keep debris out of the cockpit. I just used a car tire innertube and some aluminum sheet stock.

    Hi Ron, yes, a firewall shell will be built around the fuelcell, similar to the ones we run in the Z’s that also have no bulkhead between the tank and the driver. The fuel pumps and fuel filter will also reside within the shell.

    Hi Troy,

    Most racing groups require that the fuel cell be behind a “bulkhead”, and not in the same open area as the driver, in otherwords you are probably going to have to cover your fuel cell to race your car. Do you currently have plans to do that?

    Best,

    Ron
