Under hood details

[Stew4706]

Hey guys, Interested in hearing where you get ideas for under hood details like bolts, clamps, finish panels... And where you can buy the stuff?

I spent some time crawling around the Belvedere Rad Rides built and I have included some pics below. Love to hear your thoughts.

The first is the subtle wire loom, second the plumbing of the overflow and the fender bolts that I believe are from Billet Specialties.

All you'll ever want to know about wire loom, and were most shops buy from to re-brand with their company name.

https://www.techflex.com/ download their catalog.

You can buy the popular loom like F-6 and others from Amazon, Grainger...

Gardener westcott sells the bolts etc. And you can buy just one bolt if you want.

The radiator fitting looks like a standard NPT to AN fitting with a bent line...painted black.

Techflex is some great stuff! Keep it coming.

Fragola or Goodridge has a lot of fittings ..

Those bolts and washers are made by rad rides and they sell them. Billet Specialties also sells them.

I will throw another question out - how about engine color? Factory colors are getting a bit boring, I have seen cars where the engine is body color all the way up to induction and some look great. Thoughts? What do you guys like or dislike?

I have a white Impala that I am looking at doing the engine bay the same colour as the car, or alternativley was looking at doing it in Red similar to this

Depending on the white, I like it. I was in Auckland last week, in Akaroa now.
