Last night Danny and I spend a few hours sorting the loom. Danny purchased a new loom (ph2) as we thought the 'cup spec' ph1 loom was fubar'd.
We fitted the new loom only to find that alot less worked and some connectors are differnt than on the cut down ph1! Certain parts worked on the ph2 that didnt on the ph1 so I spent ages tracking and copying wires that worked on the ph2 onto the ph1 and managed to get the ph1 working bar the hazard switch (even tho the indicators work and the relay 'ticks') and the ignition lights but the fuel pump primes and the starter turns so we know it will run!
Just need to sort the roof loom and both door looms for the central locking (doors are de-locked) and the wiring is done!
fitting the seats but I think one of the frames is slightly bent
Brake lines to the rear need connecting
O/S brake pipe needs making up (master to braided hose section)
door looms fitting and testing to see if central locking works
Still waiting on wheels from Speedline! been told the 7th of june
front polycarbs need seculy fixing inside the door
2 lower window seals and windcreen seal
bleed brakes when the lines are done
Coolant system needs connecting and a pipe made up to loop the heater matix pipes
All the brake lines are connected up, 1.2 heat shield on which looks a million times better than the 16v one! Also because danny has got rid of the heater matrix hes running a 1.2 header tank and one of the outlets on the head has been blocked up. Water system has been filled and only had a slight leak but all fixed. Loom to be fitted back in, sparks out, crank over to get pressure, sparks back in, FIRE IT UP! all window seals back in.
All thats needed now:
Connect brake vacume pipe and tidy a few clips and wires up.
Sercure front polycarbs.
Bleed brakes.
Wheels.
Seats.
Tax, MOT and insurance.
DONE!
Wont be ready for Rockingham on the 14th but deffinatly Cadwell on the 7th of July.
Car moved under its own power for the first time in nearly 2 years!
Also the wheels now fit further inside the arches after a bit of fiddling, very similar width to 1*2 track now. Car makes brilliant pressure, currently running on my old valvers ECU as Danny has 'misplaced' his remaped williams one so is a bit lumpy... but sounds epic! Danny also got annoyed with people messing him about trying to buy some 2nd hand rear calipers so splashed out on brand new ones! Typical Danny tbh
Only a few details to sort out now, pictures to follow!
