    Im very disappointed in this update. The comments on Iains thread led me to believe there would be an element of shonkiness and I cannot find it..

    In seriousness, how does the fuel level sender unit fit onto the Nova tank for the new gauge?

    Paul..

    Paul, as you well know and Iain is fond of telling everyone, everything I do is half arsed and shonky to some degree!!!

    I'm running a tank in the boot in this shell so it's an aftermarket float sender.

    I'll be changing all this in the new shell, back to standard location as it's a lot better

    Full time Shonky coming up!!

    Home early from work, wife out in London tonight, few hours in the garage.





    I had one of these ages ago but it was rubbish so ditched it, this one is proper



    Even added an earth strap, thanks Brucer for the heads up on using the back of the alternator!!!



    This was red, changed it to black cos Iain's little brain couldn't deal with an earth being red!!

    Then got a bit bolt happy





    I think they look loads better!!

    I also managed to move my seat by tipping it forward, moving it down one hole at the front that allowed me to move it back 40mm and it's still clear of the roll cage, legs feel so much better now!! I just need to bring the wheel a bit closer to me again, will look at another spacer.

    Brake fluid change tomorrow and get the trackday box ready and we're all good for Coombe on the 3rd March.

    M6 mate, I gently ran a tap down the holes that way the existing clips are retained. It's possible to get to the underside and use nuts on all of but the very front corner ones.

    These are stainless bolts, I need some stainless spring washers and penny washers!!

    Did a few things today, update coming once I get home!!!

    So I started the day with a nice little drive out, waste a bit of fuel!!

    When I got home I decided I hated my fuel tank location!! Iain constantly belittles me about how it was mounted and how it looks so I thought I'd do something to make it look better!!

    Before



    After



    And no fire, which is a bonus!!

    I need to order some different fittings and I want to get a different lift pump, low pressure high volume, but it all works as is and looks loads better than before, plus lower COG which always helps!!

    Onto my next little idea



    Lambda bung was a twat to get out!!! Had to weld a foot long piece of angle to it!! Then cut it off cos it won't spinout without hitting stuff!!

    All in an effort to get this working



    My little AFR!! I know it's not really a reference figure you would use but if for any reason we end up lean I'll possibly be able to see before real disaster strikes.

    Still didn't get my brake fluid changed or the trackday box sorted........maybe need to do that Sunday!!
