In regards to this info on the fuel pump I've had a think and decided that I am going to move the pump to behind the drivers seat so it is near to the tank. Then I'm going to mount my oil catch tank on the bracket under the bonnet.Quote:

Cracking update dude, love the digi dash and carbon goodies, all looks bang on..
Hows that speedo going to work? do you have to mount a censer on the wheel?

Nice to see some progress ian good update. As Scott said where are you going to get your speed signal from for the dash? I wl eventually try one of those dashes me thinks so it will be interesting to see how you get on with it.
Easiest way is probably off the cv/driveshaft
How much were the mirrors mate if dont mind me asking?
Quite fancy a set
Using the transducer from a 1.2i. It has a mech and elec take off...Quote:

Depending what diff he has, it may not have a speedo drive gear for a gm transducer....
I always like the sensor on the rear drum idea
Cheers Scott, Yea it has a magnetic sensor for the speedo.Quote:

In regards to the sensor for the speedo, I have decided that I'm going to drill and tap the hub for the magnet to be screwed in, and then the pickup will be bolted through one of the holes on the bearing carrier where the brake disc back shield used to be. Obviously I need to enlarge this hole. I will post up some pics when I've done it.
I have done a few more bits on the car over the weekend, but I didn't take any pictures. I'll get out and take some snaps to update the thread this week.
Got the driveshafts built up and fitted, relocated fuel pump, mounted oil catch tank on the bracket where the fuel pump used to live, got drivers side door handle opening in using a T-pull cable, modified new exhaust manifold as it fouled the thermostat housing and then got it fitted. As said pics to follow :thumb:
