Fumotec 490

[calum_scania]

Hello everyone,

A few small jobs on the 490 I've been working on. A stone guard has been added along with a beacon, i'll paint this at a later date.













I've also been fitting an adjustable pressure relief valve to the system, for this I had to remove all the electrics and re-locate them elsewhere. Still setting it up on the t/x but initially everything works smoothly and should hopefully improve my run times

Before I started







After I had re-installed everything










Regards Calum
