    very nice!

    what alternator are you running?

    edit: do you have more info on the brake switch you use?
    it looks like to be an very small pressure switch?

    No doubt House will be along to confirm, but it looks like a Nippon Denso, lovely little alternator used on Kubota, Daihatsu Cuore and others.

    I have one on my Nova too. Hunt around and a genuine ND one can be had brand new for about £50.
    To contact me please use E-MAIL to colinesmith@aol.com.

    thousands of Nova (plus other Vauxhall and motorsport parts) available.

    Got it in one Colin. I bought it with a single V pulley and had to convert it to multi. Can't remember what I paid now!!

    Yes, they come with a single V pulley as standard. I swapped that for a 4 groove alloy pulley from Brise, as well as a Titanium retaining nut. Total weight of the alternator is about 2.5kg.

    Great way to save weight and space, but shop carefully, you definitely are better off with a genuine Nippon Denso item. There are huge numbers of aftermarket copies, and they just aren't of the same quality.

    I can give anyone the part number if they want to get one.

    Correct, as did I, minus the titanium nut......I'm not a millionaire!!!

    I can probably find the link from Brise too if anyone is interested.

    Default House's ITB XE build and re-build

    In a few twists and turns, using the unit as storage only now, not happy with security for the car down there.

    So



    25mm on the walls



    75mm on the floor



    Flooring tiles down, not the best brand but they're good enough



    Shelving over the toolbox



    25mm up inside the roof too





    With the car hard over I can get a metre on the opposite side, the doors will be removable so I just need to figure a way of moving it easily on the rally stands





    Plenty of work space up in front too

    Got the tool box back in there today, using the roof-space as storage, plenty of space up there.

    I've got an air conditioner/air source heat pump coming, I can get it to stay at around 12 degrees with a small oil filled rad whilst it's been 1-2 degrees outside.
