I've just had my 8 stack injection set up by LAP Engineering. Lee has been fantastic and really knowledgeable and helpful. He sorted out a power issue I've had for a couple of years and 4 others couldn't sort out. He can provide Motec ECUs and components. You're welcome to come take a look Ed...

Yes, it replaces the original, but as I say, has to be re-drilled as they are different bolt patterns and not evenly spread. I struggled to get the clearance if I'm honest and ended up fitting a shim plate between the engine and bellhousing. I also had to make a small bracket to prevent the HRB...

Hi Ed, I've used the tilton 6000 from competition supplies and the ZF mount, but re-drilled it to suit my Quaife zfq. I'm NOT using the SGT bellhousing though, mine is the Quaife bellhousing with a McLeod single plate clutch.

I removed the pockets and made up some door cards which are covered in leather to match the seats in my SGT. They fix with 6 dzus fasteners with D rings. Allows for luggage to be stored, and hidden. We get an overnight bag in each door and a rucksack in the footwell. Enough for a week in France...

Was great to meet you Udo! Looking forward to next year already. Tony (gulf car)

I've also fitted bulbs from here to my SGT. It also has viva headlights. The bulbs I have are a little longer than standard as they have a fan fitted to the back to keep them cool. The light produced is dramatically better than the high output bulbs I had previous, but also as Mike says, the...

Here's a picture.

Hi, I have mine fitted the same as yours Iwdal, but mine is closer to the engine mounts I think in order for enough movement on the handbrake lever and the pull on the cables. Mine works fine, it will hold the car and passed IVA as it is. Good luck with the build. Regards Tony

Hi Andys, I had the same issue with my SGT, it was also very heavy. I increased the bore diameter of the hose, hard and flexi and that sorted the problems. I'm using 6mm bore hose, not standard brake pipe hoses. Regards Tony

Here's another couple, and one of the rear. Hope they help.

Here's one from the front on my SGT.

Hi Eddy, I had Lee fit the single lights to my SGT when I bought it and this went through the UK IVA with no issues.

I would put a hole through the rear bulkhead so that you can get a socket through onto the bottom pulley bolt. In order to be able to turn the engine over later once fitted. I missed this when I built my SGT, but have done it since. Easier done before the wiring and brake pipes get in the way on...

Hi Darren, Just added a reply to your post on the club forum. I'd really like to display my car again this year, and Anita and I will happily man and woman the stand each day for most of the day as my car would already be there. Regards Tony and Anita Sherrington.

Hi Paul, Yes just 18 months from picking up the chassis to passing IVA. Then a couple of months doing the paint. I'm near Chorley in Lancashire. If your ever up this way... once this virus has gone of course, then look me up. Regards Tony
