So - took the day off to get a load of work done... To remember. Bank holiday monday - no post, so no work done...

[AndrewMini]

That's absolutely savage :/ I forgot there was no post on a bank holiday as well though...

[Jamie_hail]

Indeed - was gutted!

Anyway - spotlight pod came today, along with the steel for my new alternator bracket... Will do a little bit of work tonight. Rear Valance was due to be here today, so I'm presuming that means tommorow as it wasn't here when I got home!

Also, away to fetch my front end and bonnet from Aberdeen tommorow - hefty old treck, but will be worth it! Then I'll measure up, make my alt. bracket, radiator bracket, get the valance welded on, and set about the wiring! Exciting stuff.

Then thursday, my boot lid is due - carbon fibre single skin - lovely! Time to order some paint I think!

Oo oo can you make me an alternator bracket while your at it, pretty please?

[Jamie_hail]

What engines it for buddy? Might be able to!

[Kam]

What you doing with your alternator bracket? are you relocating it or something? (Jamie)

[Jamie_hail]

Kam - the alternator plug wont clear my manifold - I think I posted about this earlier on in the thread - So I'm going to remake the arm that adjusts tension/belt length ect about 2 inches longer so the plug sits slightly more forward of the exhaust!

Will get pics of this up tommorow probably, save you searching back through!

Its a B18 with a B16 head. Can't justify £80 for an Allspeed one when its just a few bits of metal!!!

Its ok halfway down page 20 for me, my one was quite tight so I trimmed part of the plastic clip down, looking at it do you need all the green plastic (I know you like green!) but can you get away with heat shrinking some spade clips?

Ahh, nah - I cant do the actual main part of the bracket I'm afraid - but I can get measurements and pictures so you can get a quote from local firms?

Yeah, I could probably do the spade idea - but looking at it now with the front end on I can afford to extend the top arm by an inch or two - which will help with routing wires away from the manifold!

I'll have a proper update tommorow - but for now...

That is all

looks beautiful mate :)

[Spud_133]

I can't remember what you said, (if you have) will you be using a standard length front end or extended?

Will be extended 90mm for now - will be going back to standard length after the next (top secret) stage of the project is complete...

looks beautiful mate :)

Cheers mate!

That is all

You'll be seeing her soon, dont worry ;)
