Top stuff Iain!
Engine bay is looking very smart :)
Cracking Stuff Iain, bet your really looking forward to driving the beast now!
looks great mate
Rubbish update but I have lowered the steering column as the fastest wiper setting hit the dashboard and I couldn't see the warning lights on the dash!
Thanks to my fantastic bracket design I could whip this out:

Also stripped down the front-end and replaced the core plug I 'fixed' as it was leaking AGAIN grr
dash looks better - should be a cool 'sportier' driving position too lol
fingers crossed with core plug
Good work on the dash and movable column.
how much did you have machined off the top mounts mate ?Quote:

I had these done for Iain, it was 3mm, so 6mm in total radius.
Glad you replied Ian as I can't remember. lol You can see from the pics they have allowed slightly more adjustment as they would have fouled in their current position
I noticed my bottom pulley was wobbling around quite a lot and research showed me this is because the rubber can perish and move slightly. Got myself a new bottom pulley from TXAutosport.
New one on left @ 566g, old one on right @ 1.23kg so not a bad weight saving either.

And fitted. It's very tight on the cambelt pulley so I have no idea how it'll ever come off if I need to remove it!

Also fitted my passenger seat and harness, couldn't get it as far back as I'd have liked as the rollcage bar is in the way. Also I think the seat rails are wonky as the drivers side touches the window and the passenger side is miles away lol
