Fletch's 150k 172 Project..

[Fletcher]

Order them up mate, we could do the seat and the catches in one day i reckon.

Sounds good.

Get Mike Woodford to do the cambelt and fit a set of 197 cams. That would be the best compromise as it seems a waste not doing the cams when you've got the perfect opportunity.

Nah if I get it done soonish it'll just be the cambelt/ aux belt change. I will eventually fit some 438s.

That's not a bad idea. Id forgotten that option myself.

What seat and frame you fitting. A 2" drop would suit me.

If I get a chance next week, I'll pop into Merlin accessorys and pick up some more 12.9 high tensile bolts.

 

[Christopher.]

I might do it on the way back from SRR tomorrow.

Can you remember what size they were ?

Walkthrough type on how you fitted these?
Always liked them, just never knew how to fit them haha

 

[Chris205]

Who did the subframe for you fletch?

 

[Fletcher]

Have you done the belts on this again Fletch?

Not yet mate. I still can't decide between just having the cambelt/aux belt changed or slinging in some 483 cams. So it's still off the road for the time being :dapprove:

New profile

You have to get cams after keeping it off the road for so long.

 

[Christopher.]

My painting skillz are unmatched

Can I have the OMP subframe back ?

Oh yeah, these new cams give you 300bhp

Yeah of course you can mate. As long as I can see over the steering wheel with the x-low subframe fitted :rasp:

 

[Christopher.]

LOL

 

[TimR26]

We'll have to make sure we/I tighten up all the bolts this time

 

[Paul172sport]

When do you reckon you'll be back up and running?

 

[BIGASH]

Still no sure mate. Hopefully springtime.

Do it!!

Cheers Ash. I think I will go for some 438s

Thank you Will see what its like on a PH2 like position places,

I'll get some updated pics tomorrow once they're fitted.

Great car Fletcher!!

Aerocatches fitted.

Untitled by fletcher10, on Flickr

Thanks for the help today Chris and Tim.

They're slightly out, as I had a small accident when cutting the inner skin with the 4" disc cutter, and that left a bump on the face of the bonnet

My Corbeau side mounts didn't fit the X-Low replica. So hopefully with a bit of fabrication I'll be updating the thread soon with them being fitted.

 

[Fletcher]

X-Low replica with the new bars welded, and electric window switch. Thanks for dropping off these parts Chris

Fit the subframe/ seat
Fit window switch
Once back from Dubai order lightweight AC delete maybe stud kit both from Pure Motorsport.
Get a new cambelt/ aux belt and MOT.

 

[SharkyUK]

Looks good, mate. I wouldn't have known the Aerocatches were slightly out hadn't you mentioned it! Minor detail though; it's coming together nicely.

Cheers Andy. It's getting there slowly. As long as I get some tracktime in it this year I'll be happy :race:

[Christopher.]

Forgot to tell you, i ran out of Matt black so the extra bars are Satin black

 

[Paul172sport]

[Christopher.]
