I finally got my custom actuators/brackets in so we shall see how she goes, I have everything I need now It took a few months due to back or forth making sure it would fit with various water cooled setups but was worth the wait. It's a 10PSI actuator.

looks like you got the one with an adjustable arm and locking nut, so you can increase the boost with it. if you wanted too.

You mean the preload adjustment? Yeah that adjust the cracking pressure of the actuator. I will play with that and test it tonight.

Black is easy, and cheaper as well. Plus I am very indecisive, choosing a color is hard

It will never end. I will finish this, drive it for 6 months, and then get another hair brained idea.

It is because I like to decide to get stuff powder-coated, then after I have already dropped it off I come home and find other things I want to PC, I am awaiting my final batch now, it should be ready tomorrow actually. I hope to get a lot of **** installed the weekend.

LOL

Plan first, then send. Kinda like measure twice cut once. I do understand your "problem" though. I to have had the no i'll do that later bug..Then two days later your kicking yourself and prepping to get it done anyway.

Enjoy, can't wait to see the "finished" product haha.

What, no powder coat on the undertray?
Nice work. Liking the thumb screws - no tools.

Bingo, water jet. Local company cut them for us. The one I have been running for years was made by hand, big difference in quality,
