Yeah no bother mate I'm writing on the iPhone so I'll do a proper explanation from the laptop later. Are you on a small block gearbox? If so you might wanna check the turret pcd as AP do a 76mm and a 74mm fitment, also what style clutch are you running cause there are various width housings and stroke lengths from AP.
Looks like progress mate! Doing a wicked job on it... bet you wish you had a quarter master twin plate nowIm glad i never got an ap after reading the sh*t youve had to do to make it work! Those alternators are a lovely bit of kit (2.2kg iirc) the one thats on my sh*t box has the small multi V pulley cause i had troubles with the single v turning its self over above 8k
Keep up the work... not long till Fast Show at pod! mines in bits for a couple of cheeky upgrades
Did you ever get the rose joint setup? I asked but it never materialised!
Whats the cheeky upgrades. Yeah I do bout the clutch but it's done now
iv a sneaking suspicion you didn't get any piccys today captain G??
I did mate inane only been packed up for about 30mins I'll sort it in a bit.Originally Posted by Jedro
good lad..
Well we had a fun day doing a few odds and sods. Started by making some hinges out of steel for the doors they will be made from aluminium when I get some plate. (Ill do a proper step by step guide when the ali hinges are done).
Hinges fixed to the car. (work in progress)
I then started doing my rear strut brace. its been an after thought but ill paint it once its done.
Check out the new mounts for the harnesses.
I also started to triangulate the rear brace to cage hopefully finish the other side next week.
I will try and do more pics for next weekend and a more definative update.
Cheers for looking
Well I started my week off with a bang
I got the second triangulation for the rollcage/rear strut brace done.
My shoddy welding
As I was in a rather calm mood for onceI decided to tackle my nemisis, the pedal box. I haven't been happy with how it sat it the footwell since I originally installed it, (So much for OBP quoting that its a direct replacement for the O.E gear). I got my noggin into gear and got stuck into it.
And came up with this.
And it seemed to do the trick pedal box now sitting straight.
I wasnt happy with the gap between the floor and the pedals so I had some 3mm aluminum bent to 1"x1", and finished like this.
But with me being anal im not happy about the gap at the bottom of the ali.
So I have ordered some 30mmx30mm ali angle to re do the cover then it will sit flush with the floor.
Hopefully I will have some more updates tomorrow, with everthing piped up and the wiring done
Cheers for looking Gareth.
Also forgot to add I got a nice ebay bargin last night bought some pro race 2 alloys in 15". One rim possibly u/s other 3 are good. Road trip on sunday
Coming along nicely now matey
