Looking Good, God I'm loving this Thread especially now it is all coming together,

May be a Stupid Suggestion but for the window winders is there no way of modifying one of those ratchet heads where it pulls 1 way and then clicks back, So you would wind up to the cage then click it back wards and start again!
If you know what I mean??

yea you can do that, but i think i will jsut extend them, i tried to move the whole mech up... but its bound by space and the length of the cables

 

[fUbAr]

good work... that window winder's gonna be a b**ch!

 

[ben_p]

i know... but i've had to deal with worse, i will sort it

 

[Batman]

sure you could just open the door abit and wind the window down

did you get carbon cards for the rear section? and how much was it for the front 2 cards?

i got a tool at home and it cuts carbon fibre great and doesnt splint the material, well it worked on my bonnet a treat its like a composite drill bit, looks like it would work on a dremel but works with any drill and only cost a couple of quid

This thread is great, top stuff ben.

Why are you keeping the speakers though?!

 

[Jay Payne]

radio would be a little quiet without it

 

[fmp_]

another excellent update!

have to say about the cage and window winder issue.... i have the same cage, and the bars that are stopping the window winder dont go there in my diagram, they connect the main hoop to the front roof sections (if that makes sence).

not that it makes much difference!

Even track cars need radio's, i'd do the same.
That said the 205 is a bit sparse.

lol

be warned, they dont have the best customer service, good prices though!

ben have you decided what you're doing with the brake bias valve? i think im gonna leave it for now and just clean up my stock one, if it doesnt work for whatever reason i'll take another look at an in-car adjuster

lol can't argue with that advice! mind you as long as you're not in a rush for you're parts you'll be ok lol

have you worked out how to fit the bias valve? have you found somewhere to get the Y piece connectors for the brake pipes, or can you just use a T piece? i've worked it out and it doesnt look that hard, just i've already plumbed in all the pipes, and dont have a flaring tool, but i am tempted

 

[ben_p]

lol.. f**k knows the guy from rally design said " il send you what you need to make the whole thing work"

LOL @ that

 

[geesus69]

:lolup:

i worked it out to be

2 lines come out of master cylinder for rear brakes, connect using Y piece into 1 pipe, this pipe runs to bias valve, then another pipe coming out, split this using Y piece into 2 pipes again, run these to rear brakes as normal.

sounds simple eh

i have heard of dual circuit bias valves meaning no need for the Y pieces, but i'll be damned if i can find one! :dapprove:

 

[ben_p]

LOL fook knows, will post pics when i get them LOL
