The All New, New "What have you done to your Bay today" thread.

Ooh, you're right(-ish ). 'Tis indeed a Bell 212. Didn't know we had any, but apparently the AAC do, for training. Never seen one before.

 

The Royal Air Force fly the Bell Griffin . 84Sqn RAF Akrotiri have them for Search and Rescue. They replaced the Sea King in the early 2000's ish

Yep, saw those.

Didn't think the AAC had them - we used to get most of their stuff flying over our house. Lynxes, Gazelles, but no Hueys. But apparently they do use them as trainers...

Wired up brake light switches, starter motor, fuel pump and cut-off solenoid.
Fitted front auxiliary fan for heating, 70mm front heater pipe and 90mm center heater pipe.
Stuck a strip of 5mm neoprene to my fuel sender hatch to make a seal and fitted it.
Swapped the dash over to my newly welded up and painted yellow one.
Fitted front seat belts.

Actually feels like I made a bit of progress for once

 

Can I ask...where exactly did you fit the auxiliary fan?
I'm wanting to fit one but don't know where is best.

 

I'll take a pic later and post it but it's underneath just before the totem pole.

 

Ah. Inside the front belly pan.

 

This is something I’m looking into as well,be interested to see if it blows a lot more heat through

There you go

Two button head m6 bolts from the top

 

Stuck four self-tappers in his door cards. That's enough for today.

 

Looks good,where did you buy the fan,is it able to cope with the hot air and not melt the blades?time will tell I guess

Nice. Thanks.
Compliments on the cleanliness

 

Somebody on here recommended it a while back as they have fitted one. Bought on ebay:

You need a variable pulse switch which I got from Amazon:
SODIAL(R) Mini DC Motor PWM Speed Controller 3V 6V 12V 24V 35VDC 90W 5a DC Motor Speed Control Switch LED Dimmer https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0757F2DH9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vr2lEbMXGXMY1

Lol. Easy when it's not been on the road yet

 

That'll last 15mins after it's been out in the rain...

 

Don’t think mine was clean for even that long! Test drove it down the dirt track to the workshop in wet March last year.
