If your reffering to the one behind the firewall, my holesaw cut clean through it as I didn't know it was there. What are you going to use for an intake grate for the pump?
I guess I need a deeper hole saw. I have a Worx 201 I kept from my '98 I parted out.

nice mike!

where'd you find it???
A guy over on PWCtoday from the Tampa area.
It was a good find.

Well, I managed to piss off the wifey. The blanket I used on my shop stand turned out to be a quilt her 78 year old grandmother made for her. :bad3: It is the only quilt she ever made and was made out of clothing from all her children, grand children and great grandchildren. I thought it was a different one I used a couple years ago but thats what I get for not asking. Luckily no damage or grease stains.
Anyway, it will take a while to recover from this one. :sad6:

Pole bracket reinforcement done. For the record, it is a PITA.

Man... deja vu...

Looking good man!

I thought my wife was pissed when I used her good kitchen scissors to cut all my fiberglass and carbon fiber... if I used a quilt made by her grandma for my project... I prob. would no longer be classified as a man after she found out...

Oh, and i used her good cooking scissors too.:spankme: I just have to buy her a new pair.:cool2: As far as the quilt goes, she got over it. She knew I didn't mean any harm plus there was no damage to it.

Looks good. FYI, try to make it as level as possible. Trying to get the glass to lay down is tough in that area.
I'm guessing you used the 1708 biax, I have used that on my X2 last winter. This time I'm going with 1208 so it will conture better, and topping it with the 8.5oz twill glass with black resin. (poor mans carbon). Probably lay a piece in the nose just for added strength if I ever hit bottom, under the lip, and under the bracket for certain. I was leaking water at the bond line in the rear, so a strip back there as well. Staying with 4lb foam in the back when it goes together, just like the strength it has, and a -2 cut on the pole with my hood kit. My firewall isn't sealed up very well, so probably 1 layer twill on it as well, and the bottom may get 1 also.

I can't remember what cloth I bought. I got it a couple of years ago but it is kind of thick. My firewall doesnt look like its sealed all that well either. I will probably just seal it up with some 5200.

what did you foam every thing with ??
is is the 2 part or the canned beans junk??

can you use the canned stuff also??
Get the 2 part, the 4 pound is a little heavier but is so solid and strong its good for structural support.
