    Yea i thought so, but it allowed me to fit it how i wanted i suppose instead of where they said...

    Yea im home in a couple of weeks so will get some then....

    I saw they were a different colour and looked to be smaller... was this to aid your length or just weight?
    If Carlsberg did Motor clubs, then IDMC would probably be the best motor club in the world.

    I don't think they are any lighter, but I wanted them just a little longer so I could get the shifter back a bit, but I also needed more flexibility as I have a bracing bar up to the bulkhead, which is right where the cables really wanted to run, so I had to route around that.

    Can you post some pictures up of yours Ben?

    I don't know if you picked it up on this thread, but I've had some higher-quality, and much more flexible cables made up for mine.

    Thanks Iain.

    I can only claim claim credit for the ideas of how I want it to be, not really the execution of those concepts.

    Hard to believe its approaching 9 years I've owned this car, it's seen out a few relationships in that time!

    Once again I’m back to looking at the possibility of having centrelock wheels. I’ve found someone with the engineering capability do it at a sensible price, just need to borrow one of the appropriate size wheels and check that I can get it to clear everything.

    These are the wheels in mind;

    Is there a significant weight saving if you switch to centrelock wheels?

    No, not really, it’s more about the challenge of doing it, and a choice of very trick looking wheels.

    My throttle bodies are now being shipped off to Jenvey, as they've accepted none of their off-the-shelf throttle linkages will work with my combination of inlet manifold, fuel rail and bodies.

    Mine's a bit unusual in that it uses an SBD manifold which is slightly angled, and has the injectors firing into the manifold, not within the bodies themselves.

    This gives all sorts of clearance issues, so Jenvey are going to come up with a custom solution.
