Having another look/think/shout/bend with the cage tomorrow, hopefully get something sorted with it.

Ok, pics of it if you dont mind fella!

Its must go in somehow.

Were the legs pulled towards eachother with a strap when fitting?

I was always told to tention a cage when fitting etc?

MAybe because we pulled the legs in it fitted?

[Edd]

The only way of it fitting is if you bend the metal rail for the seat belt, i have a few in case it goes wrong

Just hope you dont crash and need that bar to be right

Is it an mot failure? Altered seatbelt mountings?

I asked my mot mate and he said as long as the secure and not modified that they are weaker then its ok.

I dont think the bar will need that much bending, its just getting it right which is why im glad i have spare ones

Bit of a update, finished off a few things but not as much as i would of liked

Sorted out the new fuel tank, etch primed and sprayed silver, did the tank straps as well,





tank fitted



havnt done much with the interior, need to try fitting the cage again but wasnt in the mood for that today

Egine bay wise i have refurb the servo and m/c and refitted it, also refitted some of the gear linkage i had refurb along with new bushes and a quick shift, and fitted a brand new heater motor cover





managed to sort my oil pressure sender problem out yesterday, i just cut the plug off a corsa and now need to join it to the car loom and its sorted.



Been looking in to what wheels yo have, all the ones i like are either not made anymore or the wrong offset, although i really want some 14's as imo nova's drive best with them on i have decided to use the 15" steelies i got with the shell, they seem brand new. Need to sort some tyres for them and some BMW wheel bolts in black.

Managed to get a brand new set of old skool center caps that i will use;



More pics tomorrow with a proper camera

Nice progress Edd, what springs will you be running with the billies?

Also this is supposed to be on the engine mate not on the slam panel, it will never work.

[Edd]

Eibach springs mate,

pic was just to show the plug i got for the sender been hunting for the right one for a few weeks

[Southie]

Cheers Edd I've been considering getting some new (standard style) shockers and springs for mine, how much of a drop is the Sport having, 40mm?

I just bought one of the ones linked a few pages back

[Edd]

[Southie]
