Hey Nigel, sorry for the delay in replying. The speed translation circuit is done and waiting on a colleague to program it. the main 'issue' is how we let the user program the speed mapping, that is, the translation of the speed pulse count to the EPAS count. If the speed is a fixed mapping...

Andrew, what switch do you plan to use to adjust the mirrors? I got a ford focus adj knob (off ebay for 69p). K

Hi Andrew, got the cooper mirrors, but not got round to fitting them yet. I guess i'll have to extend them (extend the mounting arms) so they will pass the IVA rear visibility requirements. I'll plan to use an inner plate probably a bit of curved aluminium to mount to on the door. Presently I'm...

Looks good nick, are you leaving off one side of the centre tunnel so you have access for the pipes, clips, handbrake adjustment etcetera. K

Ian, have not fitted fly by wire, I did however move the cable connection point on my Tornado pedal by about 1" to give more leverage on the stiff cable. http://www.gt40s.com/forum/gt40-build-logs/39731-tornado-ts40-build-belfast-northern-ireland-7.html#post438038

Ian, I only ask as the bodies of the electrical connectors are quite thin and have seen many a cracked one along the way. Can I suggest (going by your pic of the throttle), that the initial angle of the cable wrt the point where it mates with the bracket would be better to be at or about 90...

Ian, is the electrical connector holding the throttle cable a temporary thing? K

Nick, my floor was in when I got the car, it has caused me two headaches, FWIW:- (1) there were no straps on the floor for the seat support,... not relevant to you. (2) At present the tanks are held with straps which are bolted through the chassis, just at the top and bottom of the...

Congratulations Bob.

Nick, be interested to see what you come up with. I developed a small uP (PIC) based product to fake speed pulses to the Corsa EPAS system. I also did a uP based latch for the rear fog light, instead of rewiring with a relay. I am presently developing a pulse speed converter, so if you had speed...

Nick, the other I forgot to say was that I put 3 straps across the floor for the seat to sit on, as 2 flexed slightly. my straps are 6mm x 35mm MS.

My brake and clutch lines were down the side, through the chassis members, however they both then jinked out at the front into the footwell and went through the panel around the rack, making them exposed and vulnerable to damage from shoes, would not have passed IVA. They are now down the...

Finally got the straps for the seats welded in, went for three per seat, I now have to make up some small ally plates to cover the holes I had to make in the sill panels, it can only get better. These were a nightmare to do; as I did not want to drill the floor panels, I wanted the bolts...

Andy, again congrats, have you been out driving yet? How far in (errr out) did you have to move the front indicators? I may be OK, as I have another indicator lens in the centre of the lower aperture, beside the foggies. K

Abraham, I am very jealous, it looks great! K

Ron, I see you found the one flaw in my argument.....

I have a brand new pair of JCB 'tin snips', I'm selling on ebay, don't know why I bought 2 pairs, anyway:- JCB Aviation Tin Snips Right Cut- 250mm (10") | eBay PM me if interested.

Dollies are handy when you get the wheels on, you could poss make/use some support system to use with them? K

There's an easy solution, small tweak to the rule:- You must enter a sensible name, Bert, Fred, Bill, Ron, (we will accept non-abbreviated).... but this name must NOT be your real name, therefore satisfying both perspectives. Regards Beth (why not).

Hey Renato sounds like you spent some time in the UK if you know Sellotape? The problem is always the time dedicated to the steep ascent of learning. I agree, paper first, then when it works, make it pretty.
