ok, a small update for you. I had a go a rebuilding my N/S hub but the cv is welded to the bearing, so the bearing is ******* so it needs replacing.

Im off on holiday to le mans tomorrow, so definitely no updates for a while.

excuses excuses lol

Cool project. Like this car in both guises...

[RacingGreen]

Not really much of an update, but im bored. Stripped the other hub off and should be shot blasted tomorrow so i can get onto replacing the bearing and ball joints and then painting it up. Ordered a few little bits from minispares so i can get my top arms bolted up properly.

Shortage of funds is holding me up now though, i could really do with finding an engine so i can A) Get it positioned so i can weld the bulkhead box in and B) decide what wiring i need so i can sort my custom loom out.

I had a go at a very crude drawing of the dash i hope to make at work.



Will be made out of 3mm ali and powdercoated black.

Opinions?

Hey fella... just a comment... if you still want me to help out with a loom next year then don't go buying a fusebox without running it past me first!

I do actually have a bussed fusebox and an 8-way one which could go into it.... hmm....

I wasnt planning on buy the fusebox yet dont worry. as the dash is still in the planning stage, it could be along time knowing how quick i work.

Finally a bit of progress. (but me not doing any work obviously)

[alexcrosse]

great project, all looks great.

one thing though... you need a diagonal for an FIA cage, thats only a "rally" saftey devices back which isnt FIA approved.

dont no if you were looking to compete it atall?

mint project thought!!!

[RacingGreen]

No im not looking to compete in it, the front half of the cage is what i believe to be fia approved (this was made by roll centre i believe)

Is a removable diagonal available?

Mike

[alexcrosse]

noooo, only if you buy a 'removable diagonal' safty devices rear.

looks like a safty devices front, you could always flog the back and then buy a new rear section from minispares or something with a fixed diagonal, i think they have a sticker on saying FIA approved or something :S but the safety devices 'race' rear section is what you after.

hope it helps :S

alex

[RacingGreen]

thanks for letting me know alex, much appreciated. I suppose i also have the option of buying some cage tube and welding in a fixed diagonal (or 2) into the rear.

Mike

[alexcrosse]

uh huh, not sure if FIA cages have to be welded by a certified company however... you will have to ask someone else for that one!

cheers, al

yeh the front is Safety Devices FIA approved. The doorbars are rollcentre
