Re: someph-ing different...........
those who are following the thread will kind of know the problems i have had with the alternator, and then in the previous posts, the dogbone powerflex bushes too....but today was not a total waste
alternator - will hopefully be 3rd time lucky, this time i have ordered new from renault, may be dollar but should hopefully be right.
1 incorrect one is going back,
the other standard 172 alternator (brand new one is still for sale)
my original one is disappearing...lol
Powerflex dogbone bushes - i will send them back and get them exchanged for the correct ones...
the next scheduled plan of attack again is wednesday, so won't be going for the cage on monday.....b*llocks.
so what i did do today...
received my K-tec (vibratechnics) engine and gearbox mounts.....so went to the office and collected them, then went back to the workshop and fitted them, on the gearbox mount the so called captive nuts were rubbish....glad i have upgraded now...
mounts
gearbox mount in place
upper engine mount in place
then fitted my stud conversion studs and bolts from Grayston, i decided in the end to go for the 80mm studs all the way round, would deffo give me mucho clearance for the wheels and open studs, i then had to measure up 4 and cut these down for the lockers, took a while to get them all loctited / measured cut and fixed but i think they look awesome, will make the job of changing wheels easy...
studs in rear
studs in front and cut down for locker
with bolts and locker on
with all bolts and locker cover on also
and just to keep the haters happy, got all new badges, these will be going on very soon
next upload probably next week...

Re: someph-ing different...........
Looking mint dude. Really need to catch up soon!
I need a new gearbox mount but have just had a standard new upper engine mount fitted!?!? Wonder if the Ktec gearbox mount would be alright on its own.
I need some lockers for my stud conversion too!

Re: someph-ing different...........
think studs need to be on my list too, especially as ive got the track and road wheels now. just make it a bit easier on swapping all the time.
lockers was my only concern but seems that can be overcome too. good times. well fingers crossed you have more luck with the bulk of it next weds!!

Re: someph-ing different...........
indeed i hope so...
it takes a bit of patience and maths to sort the lockers stud but if you can be patient its worth it
