Woohoo!! Reassembly starts!

[Blackpopracing]

Tach now fitted and I've started on the LED conversion for the gauges.
Managed to get the led fitted in the wheat bulb sockets on the speedo & tacho but for some reason the tacho one wont work when fitted? Works off the car and it works with the wheat bulb in the tacho but not the led....hmmmm.......
I cheated & wired the led's into the bulb heads so I can swap back to normal bulbs if necessary.
Guess which ones I haven't done yet

They look good Mark, bright enough without being distracting.
You were having problems with the transmission, any news on that yet?...

Hi Tim,

Yep, really need to sort carpets out and get them edged up, but it's kinda nice to not have to go in the garage every night anymore!

Yeah I bet, gauges look very nice Mark.

Cheers. Tim W.

Bri,
Not managed to get it to Watford yet, all works perfectly though.
Paul can't really think what the issue might be but he thinks possibly the planetary gears in the tail might be a little worn? Happy to leave it as is as long as it does not cause damage to the box to leave it.
Done over 300 miles in it now

[mygasser]

be nice to leave the 'box 'til the end of the season mark if you can.

[Blackpopracing]

Be nice to leave it full stop! Expensive to have it built again

So the car should be good for the Supernats then?, just take it easy driving.....no burnouts or wheelstands!...

I can't believe you said that !!!

[Blackpopracing]

I can't believe you said that !!!

I know!!

I guess I should clarify - it's nice not to HAVE to go out to the garage - I only have to go out if I want to now

[Blackpopracing]

Oh,yes Supers are a 100% go.
Took it to local meet last night again - loads of good cars there.

[Blackpopracing]

Ha! made custom car again this month

[Blackpopracing]

Maintenance time!
Radiator is out to be re-cored, the only part on the car I have not had done properly yet. It worked ok but had a couple of tiny leaks so I'll get it re done with a more efficient core at the same time.



Some new parts arrived today - hi spec Ferodo pads that have amazing stopping power if the posts from users on other forums are correct - lets hope they are cos they sure aint cheap!



While brake pedal was out to replace the urethanes I took the opportunity to re-shape it to be a bit nearer the throttle pedal, didn't think I would be getting the spray gun out again quite this quickly! First primer coat on tonight.

No sooner on the road than off Mark, still it's all for the best mate.

Cheers. Tim W.

[Blackpopracing]

Yeah, coincides with me being away for a bit so no loss of driving time.

Hi Mark,

Was real good to catch up with you at Billing, shame I couldn't get the ride in your stunning Pop, was real good to finally check it out, very impressive, nice one mate, hope you sort the problems, and have a few good runs this season,

Good luck,

Cheers,
Mike C.
