Found these wire and cooling line harness hangers through work a few years back and have been using them with great success on every build since. Super high quality and havent had one fail yet. The secret is the bonding agent and sanding and cleaning the area. They are fool proof if sanded...
Made some more progress. Temporary wiring and cooling for tuning purposes are in. Sooner or later i have to determine a color. Thinking blue or red this time on the flat black canvas.
Next is installing the mounts for hoses and wires. Found some parts to bond specifically to carbon thanks to...
Finally some more progress. MSD is modified and in. Had to do some customization. Go figure between the pump, MSD, and PFP this is where most of my build time went.
Now onto hood seal, latch and catch. Then tying down all the hoses and wiring
After tuning ill use this template MSD plate to...
Well finally making some more progress. Pipe is all pressure tested and in. Still need to do all pumbing, etc as the tuning boat water lines dont match :)
Have the Odyssey Battery installed and super tight.
Next up is the MSD TL
Can't do too many at once, way too many builds as is going on. The Havoc is a great choice but production was behind on them so I went with the DVX. You cant lose either way :)
hStarting to come together faster now. As most here know the most important part is the turf and pump/midshaft allignment. Shimming the motor is pretty straight forward. I'm well over 100 hours into this build. Custom parts casue custom problems. There have been quite a few bumps in the road...
Little more progress the last few days. Pump and trim install took forever to get alligned but its perfect now. The CF tool helps quite a bit. Nice product Carl. Thanks to Paul for the loan. Next is midshaft then bilge set up.
The blocks were from a supplier that only had one piece. Not sure where most get them from. Interested to hear what most people use. I have been told PFP blocks, this was very similar Durometer and composition.
The footholds themselves are cut hydroturf. Its softer and will wear but is more sticky to grip your foot on kick in. XSream is now using cleats with theirs, but I'm not at that level of riding so to me the kick in method with Acis is still the best for me. On the bottom pad, I used the...
From here the ski sat for a month as other jobs had to come first before my personal build. Go figure :(
Finally in May I had some free time to start the turf work. After speaking to quite a few people and riding a few skis in the past I decided to have the footholds be separate from the...
This season as usual is way too busy for me to find time to build another ski, but as usual I sold everything I had and decided to start new again. This build started a while ago in my head, and I started gathering OEM as well as aftermarket pasts last season. As we all know delivery for parts...
