The plan is to pull a second half, bond the two together and then trim off the flange. Done with infusion 200grm CF - 2 x 290grm E Glass - 200grm CF. Weight of one half is 123grms, could probably loose one layer of E Glass. Capacity when finished will be 2 ltrs. Warren Carbon Copies Ltd Edited 10 Years Ago by wozza

Regards Chris Sounds interesting Look forward to seeing some pics of the Atom in all its glory. A lot of the work I am doing is covered by NDA's so can't post pics which is a bit frustrating Warren Carbon Copies Ltd

Not a dig, just wondering and interested to know how you put the baffles in place if it has them? Also interested to know how you're attaching the fittings?

Hi, its a flashy empty can Because its a race engine and tends to "breath" a bit heavier than a standard engine the regulations require an "oil reservoir" to be fitted. He is using a plastic washer bottle at the moment Threaded inserts will be bonded on to take the hose tails and two push in air fittings and some PVC clear tube will be used as a level indicator.
