Nope haven't fired it up since. :gimme: Am still trying to locate the required sensor for less than the £124 Yamaha want for one!!! :saywhat:

I've got tomorrow off with the view to trying to get most of the wiring loom sorted! possibly finishing of the water system aswell and maybe even get the sprocket changed and put the chain on. Am also waiting on a few parts so I can finish of some other little bits and bobs........

Will take pics of anything interesting that happens

I've been trying lots of bike breakers and not having any luck to be honest...... But good old Chris at Z-cars is trying some of his contacts to see if he can locate me one :grin: (another example of their terrible customer service :gimme: )

Thanks I'm pretty pleased with it! :grin:

Hopefully I'll get some more pics up of the car this weekend. Looks different with the windscreen in :tongue:

Have just collected loads of wire and switches and will hopefully be collecting the sheets of ally for my bulk head Saturday. So with a bit of luck a couple of days hard graft it won't be to far away!! :grin: oooo I'm getting so excited I could just burst!! :grin:

Hey Ade just wondering where you got the dials from - how much damage did it do to your wallet?

The dials were from a company called Revotech. I'll dig out their contact details if you want me to. I'm really pleased with them!

Pete and I basically beat the poor guy up at a kit car show to get a good deal out of him. IIRC we got all the dials (Speedo, Tacho, Oil and water Pressure and fuel level) plus all the electronic senders for about £356 ish each..... :gimme: We did also buy some fans and some silicon hosing from him. But A very nice chap done us proud :grin:

And as for you Jammy........ :tongue: People didn't think I could get any bigger but I'm working on proving them wrong :grin: :tongue:
