Looking spot on there mr limp keep the updates regular, its a good read and good to see youre cracking on with it all yourself:thumb:
Regards to the clutch routing, i was always led to beleive you should use a straight bar and keep bending it till the bar points exactly to the N/SF corner of the car/bottom of wing, if that is of any use to you?
some cracking work Iain, is it going to be ready for Billing then?! ;)
Yeah that helps Spudders, but how do you do the cutting technique? Just chop the end off at an angle?
Billing lol It'll be ages yet.
some very good work going into the nova whats the plans with the redtop then
Standard XE to start with, should be a nice upgrade from the 1.6.
What can I say, well done Iain, some cracking work going into this and your weldings looking s**t hot! better than my shoddy attempts!
Good on you mate, you'll be beating me the finish at this rate! lol
Keep at it and will have to catch up and have a nosey at it at some point:cool:
Thanks Ian, yeah the welding is improving all the time now.
Finally got a pair of side mounts. Ordered them from RACE @ Stoke On Trent - a similar design to the Magnum ones but with much more seat adjustment options.

Also got some M10 threaded inserts, 25mm long and 20mm wide, perfect for welding in to my metal bar. This will let me mount the rails lower down (no need for nuts underneath) & I'm told is better in the event of an accident.

Only problem is the grooves on the bottom of the side mounts are designed for M8 bolts, so I'll probably have to open the slot up a bit.
How much were those mounts mate? Just what I need (eventually!)
£50 each. Only a couple of quid more than from Magnum but in stock, quick delivery and better designed for more adjustment.
Having a few issues fitting them at the moment though. Well, the mounts are fine, but for some reason the angle of the vertical pieces is different coming off the seat. Anybody got any advice?
Fitted like this:

And wonky at the front. Going to put too much stress on it just tightening this up isn't it!

Can you not fix it on the outside if you know what I mean?
