Joel_W Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Mark, Nice start to the engine. I'm assuming that's the resin AM replacement. Are you going to be wiring it up? Looking forward to your next update. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Mark, My apologies for jumping the gun. Maybe if I looked hard enough, I would have realized that the back bank of cylinders wasn't there. Looking forward to your next update.

Guest Peterpools Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hi Mark The ignition wires are really braided tubing with the ignition wires inside. They should be a bronze/brown/tan color. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark31 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hi Mark The ignition wires are really braided tubing with the ignition wires inside. They should be a bronze/brown/tan color. Peter Thanks Peter I think i will go for bronze and yes i have seen it also in pics that they have a protective around them But the color whas a bit confusing you see restord engines old ones somany color variyations so i whas getting a bit confused Mark mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Mark, Peter is correct. braided wire sleeves to protect the actual ignition wires were the norm until late 1944 when they started to switch over to the rubber incased wires. Certainly cheaper and much easier to mass produce. Your R2800 is really looking exceptional. Joel mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
