Build 20. Exhaust Primaries

According to the manual, the next step is plumbing and then the dry sump oil tank. After looking at a number of blogs it was clear that there are a few other steps that need to be completed first before continuing in the order denoted in the manual. We have to install the oil catch tank and the exhaust primaries. I need to get some more shelf space back in my garage, so the exhaust primaries were the next on the list for me!

You have to install these before the Oil tank purely because you cannot install the 4th primary when the oil tank is in the way, I have a photo which shows this further down.

The first thing to do was to remove those sticky labels, don't even bother trying to peel them, I used some Autogylm Intensive Tar Remover and a micro fibre cloth, Simply get the label wet enough with cloth and some remover product, wait 60 seconds, peel off the label, and then rub the adhesive left with the same cloth (This was a great tip thanks to this blog).

Once they were removed, the job of installing the primaries was simple, start with the 4th primary (closest the rear of the car) and work towards the front. I left some bolts in the manifold at the end to make it easier too. See the pictures below for where the last primary has to be to install it properly.
