Very well put together.


Few points.

Not sure about the radius of the rocker switches in the middle of the dash.
Take some edge trim for the inside of the windscreen uprights just in case.
Is the boot lock flush with the lid ?
Are the top seatbelt mounts above the slots in the seat ?


PS whats that thing floating above your engine ???????

Hi Keith
Yet another stunning car on the Locost forum. I was beaten to it with the comments on the rocker switches & seatbelt mounts. Also poss edge prob on the fuel filler. Carefully check the front indicators for max 400mm from the outer body - in most cases rear arches!
Well done mate, and best of luck.
Pete

RADIUS ON FILLER CAP IS OK BUT CAN ONLY PRETUDE OUT BY 5 MM TAKE GASKET OFF AND WIILL BE FINE

good evening, superb work
all my congratulations. by wishing you good
luck for the SVA.

Front of the ali plate that your headlights are fixed on. Is there some trim around it?

Cheers,

Pat...

hi the car looks very good just would
like to know what you used around the bottom of your shocks. and do you have some spair

Hi

Thanks for the comments.

The rocker switches are from europa spares and are sold as being sva compliant so I will have to see what happens.

Well spoted on the seatbelts. I have checked them and the drivers side is fine but the passenger side is 10mm above the mounting point due to the slots in the seat being 10mm higher than the driver. As the seat is mounted on spacers I can make some thiner ones for the passenger side so reduce the seat height.

The boot lid lock is proud of the surface but it is radiused.

I will remove the gasket from the filler cap. thanks for that one.

The Ali plate that the head lamps are on is a 10mm thick CNC machined plate that is radiused 5mm all the way round from both sides.

And (Snuggs) the thing floating above the engine is the latest performance add on for a pinto, a set of screwdriver bits in the grass lol.

Thanks again and fingers crossed.

Keith

excellent looking motor,it looks the muts nuts!
well done
good luck with sva im sure it will pass no probs

Impressive motor, very impressed, only think i could see(apart from the one mentioned above) is possibly your flexi's to the front calipers may need clipping up.

oh and do you need a centre mirror for SVA??, not sure myself.

also the flexys look to have banjos on the end.

istr you needed to prove the caliper had been machined flat, but it was said on here, so may have been suggestion, or just thinking aloud.

anyway, it should do well at sva, turned out as it is.
good luck
tom

Very tidy looking car! Very impressed.

Couple of Qs,

Where did you get your oil filler cap and oil catch tank?

Like the boot lid, i need to make something like that post SVA.

Nice colour, great looking build.

Good Luck.

David

do the adjustment knobs on the front shocks need covering ? - Just a thought

nioce looking car BTW, good luck

What a fantastically neat build, very impressed

James

Hi Greggors84

The catch tank is a mocal one I picked up on ebay, burton also sell it but it is very expensive.

The filler cap I made but I am lucky as part of my job is running our model shop which has full cnc milling & turning facilites, which can be very handy.

Keith,

Very nice car looks really nice.
I passed with a similar fuel filler & the brake pipe banjo joints on the front But i did have to cable tie the flexi's front and rear to the wishbones to ensure they did not rub anything. Also was ok with the shock adjuster facing in.
I have the same seats and passed with them sitting about 20mm off the floor on spacers (about 13 washers taped together)
I used the luego headlamp brackets, but had to move them out by 20mm and the headlamp up 25mm to get the viewing angles correct.

Hope this is of some help

Phill

good luck with sva great lookin motor, one q where did u get the mirrors from and are they sva approved?

good luck once again

Hi Chris

The mirrors are from a Suzuki GSX 600/750 as for SVA compliant they should be as most other bike mirrors seem to ok.
