Well, just the cost of the set of the polycarbs, and reused some Corsa B window rubbers :)
Mini update really, getting more prepared for Donington
Finished passenger door having bought a new grinder after killing old one

Got a very very slight gearbox oil leak from the passenger driveshaft (probably seal), about a teaspoons worth over 2 nights, nothing drastic!

As much as we tried - kinda wrote the idea off that we'd get the new seats in before Saturday, my welder is playing up, and didnt want to go and lop out old runners, just incase we got caught out which meant we'd have to forfit the trackday, so staying with the current buckets for now.
Took inlet manifold for TB's to Wilcox Motorsport today to have the vacuum to servo return hole drilled & tapped into it, should be collecting that tomorrow
All's well.
Just need to find a new way of holding the polycarbs "up" in the door, as they rattle loose and slide down over a while
Cool.
I'll look forward to seeing it on Sat :)
Ol you see where the rubber runs along the bottom of the window,on the lip of the glass opening,could you not get some sort of a strip of alloy, or maybe a "U" shape channel alloy and fix it upside down to the window and the alloy then mounts onto to that lip of the opening, it's hard to explain how i mean, i just have an idea as we have this alloy split battern stuff at work and think it would work a treat!Quote:
