I spent the best part of the day fitting a corsa rubber mount to the driver side. Ended up with this
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04159.jpg
I then painted the chassis leg where i made the mod for running the calibra gearbox mount
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04161.jpg
But with it being cold i found myself waiting more than working lol.
List of jobs for tomorrow:
I have to run a brake line from the rear t-piece to the braided line in the car.
Modify and fit the wiring harness.
Throttle cables.
Refit the thermostat.
Put some water in
And maybe hear it fire up??????
Cheers Gareth

the grand fire up tomorrow i heard mr sh!t phone ;)
Yeah lol got as far as I can without testing the engine. But have decided to see how it runs then take it back to bits so my mAte can paint it. Watch this space for the updates lol
Why the Corsa and Calibra mounts?
Hi mate corsa front mount is 10mm wider so the engine is further from the chassis leg. Calibra mount cause it's a neater instal and makes it easy for engine changes.Quote:

I couldnt seem to get the lights working for my fuel pumps without dragging the earths about so I re made the plate.

Fitted with the switches in.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04221.jpg
Then I tackled the stack dash, I had an idea in my head how i wanted it to sit and luckly it seems to be how I wanted it.
I cut some carbon fibre the same size as the inside of the nova cowling.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04215.jpg
I trimmed the inside of the cowling so the cabon would sit flush, then notched the top so the clocks would be fine. once I cut the centre out the carbon, I bonded the clocks to the carbon then bonded it to the cowling and ended up with this.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04220.jpg
Then I fitted to to the dash to see what it looked like.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04218.jpg
sits nicely in the centre
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC04219.jpg
I have done other stuff but I keep forgetting the pics. im gonna do the wiring for the heated windscreen and the stack dash next eek after work then get panels sorted to have it to the painters very shortly.
Cheers Gareth
Those Elise dashes are ok but it doesn't cover the rpm you intend to use ??
Personally I'd just fit a separate tacho in there and run some separate gauges for oil pressure and water and oil temp.
Cheers for the input im sure ill find a way round it lol. ill probs just put a larger rev counter on aswellQuote:

Looking good though mate. Will call you this week with some good news hopefully :)
