Oh, what a difference a smaller wheel makes. It's massively better!!

Some more progress today with the fitting of the OMP steering wheel

What size is this Wheel 330mm? Wheels look great as well very WRC!

 

[pastymaster]

It is a 330mm. It's absolutely spot on too. I drove the car today for a good blast just to check everything out and it was great. The smaller steering wheels does make it easier to move the car around and the bit of added weight to the steering is nice too. It's definitely a must to change :up:

I had a proper look at the camera mount again today to see what everything looked like. If the camera is mounted in the dish thing it does just get a lot of the wipers. It'd have to have something to raise it up which would looks a bit messy really.

The other place I've thought of is here:

It does give a better view, would be easy enough to mount with glue/nuts/bolts as the trim comes away. Has anyone else mounted a camera here?

 

[magic354]

Could you not mount it to the inside of the windscreen next to the rear view mirror?

 

[pastymaster]

I did have a look at that when I was fiddling around but I'm not sure how the track organisers would like the fixing to be honest? I thought they'd not like it there unless you're allowed adhesive fixings now?

I didn't know track organisers have rules around camera placement?!

 

[pastymaster]

I meant more the none permanent nature of mounting there? Do you mean on the glass?

 

[magic354]

I mean on the actual windscreen, yeah.

I was due to be at the AM Novice session at Oulton Park tomorrow but it's looking unlikely now

I've taken the car for a run out and it developed a horrendous sound at the rear when on the brakes. After a look it looks like 3 out of the 4 brake pad retaining clips are missing - luckily I've not lost any pads though.

The one that is still there looks like it's upside down though?

Any ideas where I can get a fitting kit this late on a Sunday before a bank holiday Monday?
