So needed a new loom! Alex saved the day, an saved me some time by kindly chopping up a Corsa loom for me an sending it to me so all i had to do was wrap it & fit it
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...cker/alexw.jpg
So with the dash out, finished the metal work inside an got it all painted in satin black
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...r/interior.jpg
Wrapped the loom, fitted the dash & put all the interior elec back in (well all for the time being!)
Got me some V6 calipers off eBay for £20, complete set of pistons seals from big red an some Meriva 280 discs an got busy
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...acker/lolz.jpg
It'll work in theory i told myself.....
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...cker/lolzz.jpg
Unfortunatly in reality no it didnt
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...acker/fail.jpg
Couldnt get anything to line up with the Cromodoras on :( :(
I dont understand mate, what wont line up? stud/nuts?
Nah because of the v6 brakes the sparco rims won't fit :(
savage i really like them sparco wheels, no money to buy unfortunatly :(
V6 brakes are a PITA, i need spiggot rings for mine cos the wheels are a cnut to get back on:cry:
Anyone know who/where to get them from (sorry to OT your thread Mike but thats just how 'oi rowl' lol)
Hmmm, that .dean guy aint been on in nearly a year so thats probably no good then lol
Never fitted them on mine just used the locator securing screws, do have to wiggle the bolts a bit thoQuote:

Update Cont.....
With the Cromodora's not fitting for shizzle, I sold them on to a guy with a Belmont SRi & opted for the RFX route.
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...ker/tighty.jpg
But even these are uber tight
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...er/tighter.jpg
From there it was all engine bay & front end work really. Undersealed an cleaned out the inner archs, changed washer pump from twin outlet to single, cleaned the washer bottle out, cleaned down & prepped the bay etc etc

And been busy with some other composite parst aswell but more pics of them later...
RFX's look sweet
Better than the Sparco's IMO
Looks a very good build so far as well
Cheers Edd, TBH I do prefer the RFX's myself but a weight comparison the Sparco rims are faaaaar lighter unfortantly.
There some more bits yet, just not uploaded the pics. *Hopefully* it'll all be sign written the same as Im planning on having my van done so it'll look sweet when there both on the move with the B on a trailer :)
Monday just gone I was really REALLY bored at home but the weather was poop. Staring at the roof vent I had something was amiss......
Just woundnt've looked right if Id have fitted it painted up as it was so I had a master plan.
Carbon kevlar wrap it :)
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...cker/vent1.jpg
But the master plan got even better by a complete random chance of luck! The epoxy Id put on the vent reacted with the paint turning it into goo so once the kev set hard I could prise it off (WIN!) and end up with x2 roof vents!
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...cker/vent2.jpg
Once removed I reinforced the inside of the vent with some roving & black out epoxy....
A quick spray wax & buff later....
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...cker/vent3.jpg
With the Fiat directional vents attached the complete kit weights in at a shade over 480 gram's.
And for anyone thats interested in the qaulity....

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...r/102_1637.jpg
The RFXs look sound. Plenty of brake clearance there! Ive got less on mine
Mike you're a carbon slag lol
Looking very nice ;)
Cheers guys :)
Theres more to come Southie, spent most of the weekend banding around ideas & gathering a marketing strategy in my head thanks to everything I saw at Combe etc.
EDIT: During the week I had the pleasure of looking over some M Sport carbon parts aswell, considering there premium price me nor the owner of them was pleased with the overal qaulity but hey ho, big scale production means uber quick turn around I suppose?
humm roof vent and heat shield??
roof vent and roof vent I believe, inside and out.Quote:

My super secret skirts are better though :( lol
Well havent realy done much to this sack of cack latetly other then an epic brake pipe instal session yesterday. Just left with two pig tail pipes to put on in the back, pin back the pipes in the scuttle & the brakes are finished.
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...10416-1442.jpg
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...10416-1443.jpg
Once the scuttles all back together it'll be hidden out of sight so no nasty brass 3 way connectors looking out of place in the bay.
Oh & another demeaning task of cleaning the shÃ*t gaurds an refitting them with all new plastic rivets. How boring...
Not really done owt to this the last few weeks as been busy working on things like this...
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...10405-1716.jpg
And welding some of these....

So all Ive managed to do is strip the pass door of its elec window mech, fit a manual one & get the door card on. Which then presented the problem of lock/unlock meh.
So copied a trick from an Evo8 track car build I once noseyed an voila!
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...10424-1340.jpg
Just left to cut the actuator rod down & fit a nice little handle/knob affair to it.
Is that going to be the handle to open the door or lock it?
Its the pin thing to lock the doors from the inside like Iain, the OE door cards have a hole in them but because I got these gay ass carbon trims theres no hole :( so I just bent the rod at 90 degree, an will shorten it & put some form of little knob thing on the end.
Ah cool, assume you're not having central locking then? Cos then you wouldn't need one :)
Nah the RCL is long gone lol still yet to take actuators out the doors mind but on the whole its gone.
mike, what size plate was that?surely its not for sump guards??
8mm to 8mm Mike, its an RSJ for a mezzanine floor.Quote:

Erm, nearly lol
I might be moving out in the next month or so, so it'll take an even further back seat!!
