Default RE: Let's gasify a Vanquish

More; Once happy with the location, the tack glued FW is knocked off and set up withhard points and blind nuts. Also, the center area is removed shaving some more weight. Basically, the front firewall bulkheadsection I removed from the nose weighed 60 grams. The new FW and reinforcements weighed 30 grams....I'll take it

Edit I made a pipe tunnel yesterday...weighs35 grams. Removing the front end and replacing for gasoline, including the pipe tunnel, was essentially a wash. I'll post some pics as I conclude the sections. The tunnel was straight forward glass tube with appropriately located reinforcements to maintain shape and take the pipe mount

Canopy clears nicely
