Hi Aric, I have found some small latching buttons. They are only 16mm deep with a 14mm cut-out. I am going to run these with relays as they are only rated 100 mA. Work out less than £20.00. The indicator module in the uk is is over £100. Spent enough on the R1 :'(

Ian,

I could pick up an indicator module for you here and mail it if you'd like.....I think it was something like $60USD to $70USD...

does the indicator module mean you can run indicators off 2 buttons on the steering wheel rather than stalks?

[Monte Busa]

yes, see previous response with details on "how it all works".

[who_loves_the_mini?]

thanks, thought that was the case. just need to work out how to do my wipers by switches and i can run no stalks at all and a race steering wheel

[Monte Busa]

I'm doing my wipers by switches like this:

a SPST switch to turn the wipers on / off
a SPDT switch to toggle between high and low speed...

easy sneezy

Aric,

The car looks great! How does the body mount to the spaceframe?

Can you not use on off/on/on switch to switch between off/low speed/high speed? Or do they not exist?

[Monte Busa]

You could do this too

Hi All.

I've added a poll on the top of this topic on a head scratcher I've been pondering lately....

Would love to hear your opinion.

Cheers,

Aric the atom, looks like the seats are done with flocking.

[Monte Busa]

You know, that's what I thought too having looked at some pictures, but I wonder how durable flocking woudl bre on a seating surface. maybe markrally or others can attest to it's durability? I contact Brammo (the US distributer for Atom) to ask what they use as they mfg some of the parts for the US Atoms here, including the seats, but never got a response. I wonder how I coudl find out for sure.....

Try sticking up a post on PistonHeads, or try contacting Ariel in England?

[Monte Busa]

Hi Jammy,

Pistonheads is a good idea - thanks for the suggestion. Ariel UK does not list an e-mail address, only a phone number and it's really hard to call during the work week for me with the time difference....anyone on the other side of teh pond want to volunteer to help?

I know this might sound like a C**p idea, but if you mask off the seat leaving the bits that are getting the most wear, sand the gel coat down and paint with normal b&Q mixed black emulsion for a very tough matt finish. It's great for fibreglass, I'm doing my interior with it.
