V1 Dragon Motorsports 1.0 [Extended\Full-Cage\Double Door Bars] - [Frame #290] - SOLD

[Jareth]

Thanks, I'll remove them

Does anyone know what thread hardware is used to mount the ignition to the frame, the video indicates to use small donor hardware? I don't seem to have anything small enough and when I took the ignition unit to Ace Hardware we could not find anything that matched the thread?

I'm in the habit of putting nuts and bolts back on a piece when I remove it. It's a 4 mm x 15 mm with a .75 pitch. It also looks almost tapered like a sheet metal screw. Sorry about the fuzzy picture.

It took me awhile to find these. I put them in the bad with all my interior trim screws. They look very similar.

The transmission lines use to get routed thru the radiator, what are done with the ports on the engine now?

You will make a loop for them.

There isn’t a need for it to be cooled, perhaps via a transmission cooler?

That I have no clue, I have a manual. I just knew I had I had seen this in the forum.

I looped mine too. running it through the radiator will ensure it gets up to 200+ as that is when the fan kicks on. As we will not be towing or sustained heavy acceleration, we should be ok with the engine out in the open. I think the computer outputs tranny temp so we can keep an eye on it and add a cooler like I think they do for the AT version if needed.

My loop is at the very top of the picture. I didn't know the frame would be that far away. I used some 3/8" aluminum fuel line I had left over from another project. Next time I will make a larger loop but again, I am not worried.

You could put one of these in the loop and mount it somewhere that gets air circulation.

i was thinking about something like this but I think the one you posted would look nicer, and would be easier to mount.

Just performed a redneck paint job, taped up all the connectors and various openings and hit it with VHT Engine Primer.

how long should I let that dry before hitting it with the Color coat?

 

[Gtstorey]

Should say on the can

 

[Jareth]

Directions? Real men don’t read directions Ok, so the directions say one hour.

So here is the coat of color, Cast Iron.

I was going to paint the valve cover a crinkle Red, but said screw it and decided to keep it simple.

For auto, you use the front holes that puts it closer to the gas tank. Not a great picture but was on my phone. Let me know if you need better.

A couple friends for work stopped by wit a welder and helped me install a receive so I can tow a small cargo trailer for hauling my camping gear.

I notched the receiver and picked the bottom surface since it had a cleaner flat surface.

Won’t be anytime soon but this is what I’m think for a trailer.

 

[Jareth]

Those of you that have added hitches to your Goblin, how are you mounting the chains from the trailer?

They’re usually quite long to begin with. I’d assume just wrap them around the subframe. That’s what I’d do personally.

 

[Ross]

Um... chains? Guess I'm not legal in some states. You could weld 2 chain links onto your frame.
