Engine Intake for Trumpeter Ford GT40

[StrangerBandFan]

Just finished one small part of my 1/12 Trumpeter Ford GT40 build. This is a custom intake for the engine. Lots of 3D printed parts, home made photoetched brass and purchased hardware. Here's a snapshot of the assembly I designed in AutoCAD. Pics of the finished assembly to follow today.

I'll be waiting for the next pics, that's a pretty sweet looking rendering.  cheers, tim

Here's a few pics of the finished product.

3D printed parts: Throttle bodies, fuel rails and elbows, fuel injectors (3 pieces each), fuel line tee, fuel pressure regulator (2 pieces), electrical conduit, bellcrank.

Homemade brass parts: Velocity stack plates, lower gaskets, fuel rail mounts, throttle cable holder, throttle spring clip, throttle position sensor bracket, idle adjustment and full throttle tabs, throttle linkage arms.

All bolts, nuts, washers and throttle linkage rods are from RB Motion.

Velocity stacks are from a guy in Belgium.

Fuel injector wire is 5lb opaque black fishing line from Japan.

Last 3 pics. The engine in the pics is from TDR Innovations. The bundle of snakes exhaust that came with the Trumpeter kit wouldn't line up, so I had to design my own. Here's a snapshot of my design. I've got all the parts from the 3D printer and will post pics when I'm done in a few weekends.
