OUCH! Those BMR bushings were suppose to be almost as hard as aluminum ones.

My goodies from DSS is now in Washington State.

UPS is on time for a Sumas WA delivery tomorrow.

Made good progress yesterday on Hammerhead but had to put project on hold due family emergency. Just have to put driveshaft in, check all bolt's for correct torque and put the wheels back on it. I'll try to post some pic's later to night.

Here we go with part one of the 12 bolt Hammerhead install.

This pic might be one of interest in regards to the diff vent. For the time being we slid a piece of tube inside the the vent fitting then slid the stock vent tube inside of it and used a piece of heat shrink tube to hold it all in place. This fix is temporary til I figure out what AN fittings and hose I want to use.

Between my Buddy Bill and SCT we have been trying set up my laptop for data logging. It's been a struggle since my tunner was several firm ware updtes behind.

Were close now just need one more driver for the automatic updater. Looks like one more call to SCT. There support has been stellar.

Just a little test on the hoist at 1500 rpm hardly hear it but it works.

Merc · 09-25-2013, 11:19 PM

On a roll today data logging is working now.

Merc · 09-25-2013, 11:31 PM

Even Ken at Straddle Craft did a little work on Pumpkin today.

Manifold cover ready for final sand and a splash of IOM. Pumpkin will look pretty now even with the engine cover off.

That rear end is so damn sexy Brian, love the plenum also! Is it White or primer?

THX! Primer soon to be IOM. Lot's of the time I have the engine cover off for cooling purposes, once I do the heater hose relocation when I swap manifolds out Pumpkin will still look decent.

Finally I was able to get back to the Hammerhead project to finish it off last night. We were able to take Pumpkin for the first heat cycle on the new diff between rain storms last night. Here are the last few pic's of the install.
