ok done more today , got engine running off T25 ignition switch ... kids dont have to start and stop the engine now

cut allt more wires out , still need to get rid of original fuse box , but allot less on it now :



will mount ecu under the rear seat in the end , cut a big hole ( no pics yet ) ...and fed ecu through etc

so i was able to mod the engine lid , to clear alternator :



i know some people cut a complete hole ,then mount a plate on top , but maybe my engine mount has made engine be lower.... so this is all i needed ( so far )

Matt

Looking good.
I have trimmed even less on the engine lid. My engine sitting on both original mounts.

Mine too.

still got some problems lol .. but another thing i have noticed is my bite point on the clutch is quite low to the floor ...

is this common ? maybe something not right with the flywheel / clutch setup i purchased ? ?
i seem to have allot of travel on pedal before i feel anything ..

Matt

Found low bite point problem missing starter motor bolt !!!

ok , had our weekend away , Rusty went well , gearlinkage came loose up m42 , and lost all gears .. a quick stop and managed to tighten back up ...

and then exhaust sounded funny when we got down to new forest on the saturday ...then coming into campsite this happend :



so re-fitted for home trip on Monday ...



so i have now just ordered a custom stainless back box ,and pipes / flexi etc ... 144 quid later ... hopefully it will arrive this week so i can make a new system up

Matt

my custom back box and pipes arrived this morning , cant rate the service ... VERY well packed ..
upto me now to make it fit !



24" long back box...

Matt

comparing back boxes



making mounting bracket out of stainless



tacked on



this is before i tried it , and found out i had tacked it on the wrong way... so it came off and on again

modded turbo outpipe , only bit still in steal , will re-do one day ....honest



link pipe from back box to turbo flexi



completed system ready to be seam welded





pic of it fitted :



some welds could do with cleaning up .. but no time ...







so 144 quid , plus 20 quid from brickwerks for some new rubber mounts ...

if people want details of the company who does the back boxes let me know , they are around 60 quid plus postage.
