We started on the dash instrument layout. First all the wiring for the gauges

We ended up with a completely different look than most others. It's a bit of "aircraft" theme.
We later reversed the Speedo and Tach after seeing it in the car.

Headers and Pipes came in from Gas-n. The pipes were ordered with touring muflers. George at Gas-N was a great help and the end product is excellent.

We searched for black heat shields to match the headers. Finally found Alex Fok and he shipped unfinished heat shields, which we painted with high temp paint (several coats).
The drive shaft spline was different from the transmission. I discovered our order to FFR designated a T5 transmission. Blue Oval upgraded the transmission to T6 which had a different spline count. I called Travis (FFR) and he had me send the drive shaft back and they changed out the spline. great service!
Looks like you have a TKX there.Originally Posted by jvfitz

Also curious about your fan on the outside of the driver's footbox. Is that pulling air into the footbox, or pushing it out? If it's pulling in, that's where a ton of hot air can get into the cockpit if not sealed up, so it may not be the best place to draw in cool air. If pushing out, it may be so close to the body that there's not much airflow. Maybe you test-fitted the body to be sure.

jvfitz - Sent you a PM with a question on the Blueprint shipping crate.
MK4 complete kit Nov 2024, Blueprint 347, TKX, Hyd clutch, IRS, 3.55, touring shocks, 17" wheels, 11.65 brakes
That is correct TKX it is.
Pulling air (damn) We may have to rethink that. Having heard that the foot boxes can get rather warm we were trying to get some air moving down there.
No reason for the footboxes to get warm or hot Here's a recent thread with a lot of good information. https://thefactoryfiveforum.com/show...t-Installation
