Kitchs 1200 Coupe - road legal!

Kitch are you playing tricks or where does the injector go on #1 throttle body? What sort of air cleaner are you going to run, Need to be see through! they look great.

Looks like he just put it upside down for the test fit accidentally maybe?

Injectors are going into weld in special pockets half way along the runners.
the inclined holes you are looking at are just bolt fixing points for ancillary 4AGE crap that I have ditched, I intend on mounting my fuel rail off those points.
note I have flipped the bodies "upside down" and all the throttle linkages etc are going to be discretely fitted underneath.
The advantage of this also, is the TPS is mounted at the front not at back squished up against the fire wall

Got my manifold welded up. its all good, and my mate did some nice alloy welding.
bit tight around the exhaust flow flanges, but nothing a lick with the grinder won't sort out.
also there is not much room for bolts either! so plan to run new short studs along the top of the head,
and linish a little off welded/tubes to clear the M8 nuts.
then I will need to dye grind out the manifold to match head & throttle bodies, then will
get to sorting out injector pocket positioning and welding.
Pretty happy that it's finally taking shape, considering I started working on this nearly 2 years ago!
think my geometry and design is looking OK - well I hope it is at least!....
