How are you guys making your fuel pump and dizzy block offs? must be some saving to be had there!
is EFI lighter then carbs? Stock FI case! No machining for the pump = no block off. |

Thinking about a rear set now. Our class has a 1700 pound (771kg)min. With driver, I have 60 (27 kg) to go. I think I can get 15 more off me, I have been cycling a bit lately.
I have 356 aluminum rear brakes now. I am thinking about a set of cnc or make my own rears. The Cnc's look pretty similar to mine, I can profile them so they don't show through the windows. I just don't know if I will save any weight.

I have swapped stainless steel floorpan bolts and washers for titanium and aluminium ones.
Stainless fasteners = 1100g. Ti/Ali fasteners = 176g. Total saving = 924g.
The stainless bolts were massively over length, so I went for shorter ones.

Just finished reading every page of this thread. This stuff is insanely cool. Let's see your ideas! I removed 330g from the cross shaft. That's almost 3/4 of a lb to the metrically declined. |

Weighed a couple of cases today:
Mag 10.34kg (incl. M12 studs and long M8 case studs)
Ally 18.11kg (including all studs not head studs). Felt really heavy when lifting!
Cheers

I don't have an exact weight, but when the ball joint for a '73 Super falls out the bottom of the box and lands on the top of your foot, it weighs somewhere between "bloody hell!" and "holy crap!".

I make all my circuit cars unit construction with no floor pan bolts or rubbers, all stitch welded, also stiffens the shell noticeably. i used to cut the roof panel out and mould a GRP panel, good weight saving and very good for the corner handling, but its now been outlawed.
analogue instruments are heavy and high CoG with all the wiring, as for monster tachs! low mount a digi dash and go quicker.
tripod joints are far lighter than c.vs, Porsche turbo joints are madness. F1 cars are all tripod jointed.
dont forget the driver either, ive put on 9lb over the winter, thats got to come of soonest lol.
