interesting! will look into that.

I've acquired today (well in the post) some GTE clocks and inlet rubbers & trumpets for the carbs.

Its one of those tasks that takes ages and you're spending all the time on something so that people DON'T see it!

Best way.

Cheers for the comments. Its one of those tasks that takes ages and you're spending all the time on something so that people DON'T see it!

H&H don't do the leads, will try SBD then. Cheers Dan.

Some old skool motor factors still do the 'make your own' HT leads - you might be lucky and find some were that can supply you the ends you need and you can make them up yourself??

Been really busy at work this last month (I'm in the middle of the busiest 8 weeks of the year for me!) so have managed very little. I did bring my car loom home with me a week or so back to finish off the last few jobs and finally got the work done last night!

So back out on the lounge floor...




I've ran all the earths individually for each component in the engine bay (they all had to be cut to move things) and they will all mount up where the old battery earth did on the bulkhead. I've ran a wire back through for a fan overide switch and ran some 4 core shielded through which has all the wires the ECU needs from the TPS and EDIS. I also changed the plug on the wiper motor for a smaller more lightweight item

This is how my dash is and as you can see its from a very basic spec model and has lots of blanks. I need to fit 3 small rocker switches and a hole for the serial cable plug in on my ecu - where would you put them?

[The Simps]

My attention then turned back to the coilovers as I want to order my springs shortly and need to know whether I need to also order new shorter shocks ie how much piston travel do I have left.

So with the coilover wipped off and spring removed it went back on the car to get an idea of where it hits the stop...

My avo's don't actually have a bumpstop just the spring cups and straight onto the top mount - don't know if thats right? I bought them new like it.




I did some measuring and with the current 7" spring at the bottom of the platform to where it bottoms out is another 37mm. Do you think I'll get away with a 7" 350lb spring without bottoming out?


The back end is now back up in the air as Michael's coming back next weekend to do some more on the rear arches. Once they're done the engine can come back out and engine bay prepped and painted.


:D

See my reply on mig over dash and switches. Like the sounds of your loom.

The dash switches etc would be best in the radio blank area for ease imo. - my avo's came new without bump stops
