The lift on the shifter only allows it to move over to the left more, this is the same as a stock shifter. Have you downloaded the fitting instructions from the PMS web site?
Nothing much more done, had an issue with the dash loom due to a bad earth so swapped the entire dash loom, as when I did the 1st one it was a bit of trial and error. so most of Saturday was taken up removing the entire dash out for new loom to go in, but now working and even have a working...
Was good to meet you today, glad you are happy with all the parts you purchased. Hope you manage to find a mint driver’s seat, can’t wait to see photos of the car once you have fitted everything.
No problem and happy to share any info on the thread as I struggled to find the info so hopefully will help others.
The rear shafts are part of the axle on the Kangoo where as the Clio ones are bolted on. I used the carrier carrier from the Clio and bolt holes line up. The main issue is...
I used the ABS pump from the 182 and all the ABS loom from the 182, converted the rear to disc, used the 182 shafts and hubs so ABS should all work as normal.
There should be a clip that slides over the bumper tab and front wing tab. But should still clip in ok without these as most the 182’s I have broke had them missing.
Managed to get some time to work on the van yesterday to finish a few of the little jobs, first up was to fin the 1mm thread countersunk screws for my rear disc conversion, struggled toscource these due to the fine thread but Mark Fish came to the rescue.
Then reassemble rear disc and...
Cheers, it’s taking longer to finish that I hoped but limited time and wanting it right have delayed it but it’s almost there now.
I had a PMS system on my 182 cup and loved the sound so hopefully this will be similar.
So the next major part of the project has been done, the exhaust, originally I purchased a used k-tec 172 stealth system that I was going to adjust to fit. Then decided to go down the custom route, so sold the K-etc system.
I spoke to a few companies, the quotes varied from £400 to £1000...
Totally agree about flocking the dash and door cards, I have purchased a electro static flock tool and all the stuff to do it, just wanted to get the van up and running and then can do the flocking over a weekend as dash comes out easy.
Did think about leaving as a Nissan at first but then...
Quick measurement on the old beam, then complete beam removed.
New beam fitted and torsion bar left out for setting up. Calliper and brake discs were then refitted to new beam and height set.
Wheels back on and van finally back on the floor, playing with rear spacers, purchased 10mm & 20mm...
Over the past few weekends in between stripping out a 182 I am currently breaking I have managed to do a few more jobs on the van.
First up was to fit the brake lines and pad to the Brembo callipers, I also fitted a some Eibach camber bolts and springs.
Next up was to trial fit the rear discs...
Was a decorators van so inside the back clean too, has some paint here and there, but should all clean off ok.
It’s a bit more work on the wiring side having the electric windows and AC, I have made a custom loom for the heating system, so hopefully the AC will work....
