Lord Anton D'Bar
at work cutting very nicely some pieces of aluminum
for my control panel in his luxurious state of the art
workshop.
(Excuse the Hammer as we are professionals)

Control panel
screwed together and fitted; the lower side panels will
be painted grey to match the center console and gauges
fitted in the middle. |

This is the beginning
of the battery holder, the hole at the front is to house
the 24volt isolation switch.
|
|
This shows the
battery holder mounted to the C5 with the battery's fixed
using a windsurfing roof rack strap. The Oddessy battery's
were obtained from 'Manbat Battery's' in Shrewsbury (as
always thanks to Kier
& Malcolm
O'Leary) for their kind assistance.

The control panel is coming along
nicely now, the 12 & 24volt fuse box's can be seen along
with the 24pole quick
release connector.

The aluminum fuel tank arrived today
courtesy of Neil & Derek
at Alumacraft. I was amased at how reasonable the cost
was, the tank was made and delivered for under £100.00
inc VAT . They have an eBay presence at 'ukneil71' and
also at www.alumacraft.co.uk

See, proper job and everything,
well chuffed. Thanks Chaps!!

The fuel tank temporarily mounted
in place, retained by a rack strap. |

Fuel pipes at the rear end of the C5, they are Fuel Feed,
Fuel Shutoff Return and Throttle Valve Return.
|
|
Its been a little while since I
have worked on the C5 project, but today I have now fully
completed the fuel system by adding a basic throttle
control. Based on an idea by Ian, I have attached
a 'NO' fuel solenoid valve and a needle valve in to the
line of the HP fuel rail, the spill form the valves is
then
returned to the fuel tank, so using the needle valve
I was able to reduce the throttle to 80%. Once the solenoid
is activated which closes the
valve
the RPM then jumps up to 100% giving me a
100% or 80% throttle system. |
