I also need to research oil filters and find one that flows 20 to 25 GPM so I can use only one filter.The dual set up needs to be relocated to fit the "J" bars.

You might want to take another measurement on the width of the k member cut. Make sure it is wide enough to remove the pan bolts front and sides. Don't ask how I know.

I've seen those dual deals cause more problems than good and do you REALLY need that...............

That's more like dual Nuclear reactor towers.
Itis. Don't worry about the lines. I just wanna see that pup cut the gut.

Be interesting to see how much that whole remote setup weighs with all the lines, fittings and oil in it.

At a minimum there's at least a few lbs in extra fluid weight with the oil in the lines and those two big a$$ filters.

I agree again and thoroughly. I would suggest going lean and clean with that bullet. I'm sure that a lot has come a long way in the scope of oiling systems, fuel hose/coupling systems and such that new materials or the lack of so much equipment can still bring the same or better results to keep it light.

Itis, If you just went with a thin gauge 321 Military grade stainless exhaust system to copy what you have now, you'd save at the very least, 35-40 Lbs or more.
When I come over, I'm gonna bring a sample left over from my recent lightweight stainless exhaust system. A little pricey, but man, you gotta start some where with that Sumo Wrestling racer of yours.
Less weight, less effort, less breakage in getting to the stripe without a sweat gland opening.
If at the very least, try and relocate everything up front towards the rear, even if it's only an inch rearward. The transfer will astound you once the car finds that (Tipping point) sweet spot.

Life and stuff get in the way,,,,,,,,,

and you probably only know of half of it.

Just the outer skin.

running stop signs plowing ?

I didn't know that there were street named signs on Long Island including STOP signs. LOL.

Doug, will it effect the Aerodynamics of the flying brick??

Can I use aluminum bolts for the fenders??

Yes, you can use aluminum bolts to mount the fenders and a whole host of other things. I would NOT use 'em to mount the doors if they are stock weight. You'd be surprised at how much weight can be shaved in using lighter fasteners through out.
ALWAYS use anti-seize on the threads because of the different metals having issues with each others DNA.
We'll talk either tonight or tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

Time is MONEY$$When your doin the whole Village with stop signs on every coorner

I didnt weight it but it feels like 3 lbs.IT more the upper half above the opening in the bottom of the "K".I was hoping for more,by the time we close it off,,,,,,it will be ZILCH savings.

Just make sure it is boxed and welds are done well. It is a crucial part.
Looks more like Monday now if not tomorrow evening.

The latest cut in the "K" was just above the opening on the bottom.Looks like I can plate a few inches on the sides and maybe 6 inches on the front.The piece cut out maybe 2 lbs,,,,,

Come on Al go all the way. Trim the flanges off.
Doug

Which flanges????????
