The excitement is building. I look forward to seeing the final result.
Cheers,

Mark, here are a few pic's of Greg's Mobile Fortress.
I will repack and ship your carbs back as you may want to do this mod.

And I thought my Pinz had a lot of tubing! I like the way the rub rails flow with the doors! Is it running yet?,is it running yet?

It will run this week. I have to pick up a couple resistors to drop the starter signal voltage to 12v and a few other items to complete the fuel lines and ECU/Power supply mountings.

That isn't a lot of tubing....it is just the right amount
Jim, I am looking forward to seeing the albatross fly once again. That is assuming that you are willing to release it from around your neck.
Cheers,
Greg

Jim,
How's the original Albatross coming along? I say original, since Andre's rig is now apparently known as Albatross II.
Cheers,
Greg

I am picking up the main system 24v relay and resistor/voltage drop circuit parts for ECU start signal on monday.
I am currently installing the fuel supply and return lines.
Will get some pic's soon

Jim,
Wonderful news. My red Haflinger may soon be departing to go to a new owner. That will make room on the driveway for the Albatross I when you are done with it.
Cheers,
Greg

I hope to have it running by weekend.
But until then, here are a couple pics of the completed ECU center.
First image is the 24 to 12v starter signal circuit. It is 2 1K 1/4 watt resistors in series, one end is 24v signal, other end is ground(earth for the UK guys), 12v is tapped from between resistors to feed computer starting enrichment signal.
Harness access locations.
ECU Center ready to install.
ECU in place.
And one of the heat shield mod to fit TPS connector.
Carbs converted to throttle body with TPS
Enjoy more to come

That looks great--a nice clean install. I'm looking forward to putting it to the test. In case anybody else didn't know this already, Jim does great work and I recommend him highly.
Cheers,
Greg

Here are a few more pic's.
First one is starter signal resistor pack install point(black wire from starter to solenoid).
Next, remove drain plug from gas tank, install 1/4"NPT to 5/16" line fitting adaptor(use only LIQUID TEFLON SEALANT).
Bend and fit 5/16"return line
More to come..........................................................................
