the header is on the driver/opposite side...for a good pic I'd have to remove one of the carbs. V belt. I'll remove the front and get a pic but it will not show the wiring.

Electricity is magic to me....how would you wire up a one wire unit? A two? It appears you'd lose the ign warning light.

The alt. looks to be original as it has the same wiring as the diagram in the build book. It is a Motorola 9rc 7042, obviously a Euro unit and strangely it comes up as often used on boats.... it is a big heavy lump. The issue I have (it is working) is replacement when/if the time comes..... also I wouldn't mind a smaller more efficient unit. The wiring is strange to me...4 wires from the unit. I've never seen that kind of wiring before...one or two wires being the norm. The real puzzler is the wire to the fuse box. Has anyone replaced this booger with something else and perhaps a description of your wiring. Thanks. The pic is an exact copy of the Cat 7 2L carburetor type wiring diagram alternators.pdf

Well, I'll take them off in one year to see how things are going..... not sure about the quality of the original Cat headers but I suspect they are solid.

I have not had an issue here in AZ in my small town...Scottsdale has higher humidity due to the golf courses, lakes, fountains and etc. that they stupidly encourage in the desert. OTOH, I will remove the tape a year from now and take a look...I suspect it will be the same as the header tape on my 911 that was on for 8 years...not an issue.

Just a suggestion.... As this comes from England, I'd take some frame pics where rust could/can develop.

where I live in Arizona nothing rusts.... I've used them for years here with no rust at all. If I lived in a wet climate I might take your advice.

I'll stick with the header wrap...easy and works with no down time.

Finally got around to making a sump guard. It wraps around the front frame and is secured with U bolts. I have not gotten around to raising the car 1/2 inch with coil overs but have the adjusters.... simply have to get around to it. The forward belly pans you can see...light alloy and plastic sheeting keep dust/material from being sucked up into the exposed cam belt system by SBD. works great and no overheating either. I did wrap the exhaust with header tape to reduce the engine bay temps.

Looks like an option to me..... size is right but as it is a 'gaming' seat I wonder about the strength of the unit for securing to runners or the floor.

The later units appear more compact and that would give you more area to arrange things. I like mine as I'll never have the hood up and it works well on chilly days when you are in the wind.

^^^ Nice set of hooters...

True.... that would be an easy gig

That's some time....I don't think I'd like the carbon after sitting in the Az sun tho. Talked to a guy in Denver who said they get very hot so that would not work here.

Yeah, thanks, it is an option, and they can be locally sourced..... what do you consider a long drive in the 7
