Evening all Ok got an issue with my box, finally got the car on wheels on the ramps I purchased, tried on the weekend to roll them off the ramps and nothing, box is locked right up. I can roll to the rear about 6" maybe 8" at best then it locks bang right up, Chris Cole thought maybe 2 gears...

Morning all, does anyone know where I could get the front and rear clip pegs & cups? Mick does the pegs but I think it going into an aluminium cup makes much more sense, I could get some made (if only I had a lathe) and I I do I could get some sets done for the group if anyone wanted but there...

Evening all How much did anyone have to remove from the rear clam to clear the upper trailing arms? SGT kit but I guess all the same, Alex Veys sent me an image and looks like he chopped a fair bit out, just wondered why the shell was made like that unless its for any chassis' that don't have...

One more for the pot, so pressured up the AC tonight, clutch works fine (did not on low pressure but did when fully charged). The Blue / White which triggers the fans to run is there a delay on that or will it only trigger when the engine and compressor are running as I am not getting 12V out...

Anyone had any experience of these? Just my fuse box is not with hindsight (a great thing that) is the easiest place to get to so I though maybe mcb type blade fuses would be an option, easy to see / feel when tripped and reset. Anyone ever used them? They are not cheap so want to make sure they...

Evening all, Quick IVA question re fog lights, I have mine wired on a latched switch that only operates when the dip beam is on, is there a need for the fog light to be latching so that if I turn the dip off the fog lights go off with it? Only issue I see with that is the only way to turn a fog...

Morning all Ok so here is one for the group, my engine now runs and I will be updating the build log been far too long, bit I have no alternator charge, all wiring looks ok so did some digging and it seems the alternator needs the warning light to energise up the coils until the alt takes over...

Ok so a quick one here for the group, thinking I need a OWV on my fuel rail, I have them on the LP side to stop fuel being back fed to the wrong tank, issue on the HP side is the ECU primes the fuel rail and after 10 seconds will shut the pump off which is a good thing in my book stop the pump...

Hi wanting to add stops to the pairs of jenvey TB's so I can hard stop each bank, on the jenvey the stops they have are on 2 of the 4 banks diagonaly, they are in effect these which I nabbed from an ad for a full linkage set Have asked jenvey as well but recently they have been poor at...

Evening all So quick question for a 302 what gauge in lbs pressure cap for the expansion tank? Cheers

Hi Finally firing the engine up, well trying to!! Have sorted any minor leaks and got the following 3.5 bar on the fuel rail according to the ECU (am double checking with a manual gauge) Spark on the plugs, well No 1 plug I checked MSD is triggering on crank All fuel pumps running Have setup...

Hi Getting close to starting the beast, fuel system is all in and dry after one failed UN fitting but does anyone know the best pressure to set the fuel rail? Mine is a stroked 302 running a Jenvey TB system with Motec ECU, I have a sytec pressure regulator, the ECU is currently showing the...

Ok so one here for the electronic whizz kids out there, so I have a oil pressure gauge, the sender does have an output for a warning light but its a real ball ache to get a cable back to the dash so I was thinking is there a way to trigger a light from the gauge feed, its a resistance based...

Hi Hope this is the right forum, so just wiring my dash and checking gauges, I am using ETB gauges and senders, just testing the all important oil pressure, I am cranking the engine plug less and no ignition, no reading on the gauge. So far I have 1) Checked the gauge rises with an open circuit...

Morning all Anyone know where the feed for the red/white instrument cluster back lights is sourced from? Just fitted my dash and only a few quirks one of which is no illumination, I can see 2 red whites back to the fuse board but they are not them, rest is buried in the loom, will check with...

Just got my dash back great job, chap did a bit of a wild card, blue stitching and orange centre to match my colour scheme, at first I was not smitten but its sort of growing on me so take a vote. He said its easy to change, rest of my interior is going to be quite stripped out, bare floors...

Morning all Ok so I need to feed 2 water temp sensors on my 302 as its running EFI. Don't really want to put one on the rad side of the thermostat as that would only give a reading when open, would cause issue if the thermostat failed a swell as I would not know. So I was thinking on my water...

Evening all Ok so filled my recon UN1 last night to just below the fill hole as I ran out of oil, that was 3L, popped up tonight to see a puddle of oil under the box, seems to be coming out from the drive shafts, worse on the passenger side, I assume UN1 is fill to plug level? If so then any...

Hi all Not sure if this is engine or electrics but what the heck !! Plug cap angle to best miss the snakes....Straight, 90 or 135? Also best to loop up and over the rockers I guess? Real Steel recommend Moroso Blue Max spiral core Cheers
