What's this about the CV/hub? The wheel can come off even if it's bolted to the inner race part if no CV joint fitted?

Yes /\
The hub nut makes the hub tight to the steering knuckle. Without it the hub has "play" in the bearing
I was wondering how this was coming on the other day good to see it is still being finished
good lad nice to see proper love going to a car:thumb: lolQuote:

I've got a couple of spare CV's I use when moving cars about with no engines/shafts fitted, stops the wheels falling off Ian. Good to hear you still have the car and haven't given up. I've just completed a full engine build on mine due to the failed oil pump gear but have some bulkhead welding to do so it's not up and running just yet.
Right, update time, yes i know, i have sh*t the bed!! lol
Got a few hours in on the nova today, and took a few snaps to show what else i've been upto making a nice new home for the car (as me & the missus have moved into our first house) and a nice place for me to work on it!
Car in the new garage, tidied it up, painted walls and floor and some racking

Now for the todays work! Still having issues with this pedal box, am I the only one who can't get a bias box to fit and work correctly!? lol
Basically when the bias box was connected to the brake pedal bar in the car it didn't allow the pedal to return fully and so the brake pedal sat alot lower the throttle and clucth.
I thought I had found the problem because the swing arm in the bias box looked to be fouling the top of the hole through the firewall/bulkhead, so I enlarged the hole as so

and also on the pedal assembly in the car, here is the marked up before pic

and after I attacked it with the grinder and file

Bolted it all back up on the car and thought it would be problem solved, only it wasn't! typical! :roll:
The pedal return was alot better as it came back higher than before but still not to the correct position.

Anyone else had these problems when binning the servo and fitting a bias box??
I noticed where the brake pedal connects to the big bar that runs across the car that there is an adjustable clamp. Has anyone else had to adjust this to get the correct pedal posistion?

I've read alot about the whole re drilling this clamps mounting point to get the correct pedal ratio and soften up the pedal a little more, so another thing I could do is redrill the hole slightly further back, but its abit of a guesstamated job!
Anyones input on this will be greatly appreciated as its doing my head in now!!
Cheers
For my Astra mk2 I did have to setup my yoke after I fitted my pedal box, the part in your last picture that screws to the threaded bar. As you say it can be adjusted which alters your brake pedal position either lower or higher. So get adjusting and let us know if this resolves the issue.
Cheers Harvey,
I don't know why I never thought about getting the pedal adjustment back here, but never mind, whats done is done, and to be fair, the amount the pedal was out I would have ran out of threads on the pedal! :roll: lol
Another small update is that my dizzy has been sent to H&H Ignitions for the advance curve to be altered and have the vacuum advance removed.
Great thread.
Great build :thumb:
