I used RAL 1023 looks okay to match my nose cone to the brake calipers

Thanks guys for all your comments Steve D

Help please - When mounting the original 2B+ light clusters to the rear wheel arch. Does the face of the cluster need to be vertical when the car sits on the ground so as to meet the IVA requirement. It does not read as clear as for the rear fog light Steve D

Thanks guys, I guess that I will need to connect into the Rad top hose and connect this to the top of the header tank and Tee into the manifold to heater line with the bottom outlet from the header tank.

Gents , Can some one help, I have been scratching my head for some time with this issue, using longborders diagram which is how I have plumbed my pinto where would an expansion tank be connected as my radiator which is from a seat Marbella is a straight in/out with no cap so the tank is essential with this setup.

I have used 2 relays as per the attached photo works a dream and meets Iva needs fully

No problem if you need anything else just message me my car is just about finished now except for the trim so I have lots of info to hand

Forgot to ask what did you set the camber too

That’s what I have fitted, I just got carried away and pulled them tight now I can’t get them apart. I will give it another go tomorrow just don’t want to damage the rubber boot.

Thanks for the response can you recall what tool you used was it a pickle fork as a ball joint splitter just wont fit

Hi Guys, I am struggling to set up my front suspension on my 2B build can some one please help and describe the process for making the camber adjustment. Is it normal to split the top ball joint or remove the dummy strut from the hub bearing in mind that I have the improved wishbone setup so the cycle wing brackets get in the way when trying to adjust. Manu Thanks Steve D

Neil, I made mine from 3mm steel plate as per the pic and Colin ushers dwg. Steve D

Hi Guys I have a obp pedal box fitted to my 2b can anyone advise what the front to back brake bias should be Steve D

This image should help

Andy, Give this a look or call Frosts they might have another product that can do the job https://www.frost.co.uk/quick-steel-repair-retain-75ml/?gclid=CjwKCAjw-rOaBhA9EiwAUkLV4ndG48YBF_wlvquCFpaVVMv4AD2Kq21RlYXNB7kXXmAjW8_WPUW-ZBoCJfEQAvD_BwE

Andy, This article me be of some help with your problem https://appliedmaintenance.com/spline-shaft-repair.html Steve D

Thanks for that , have you a pic of your fixed plate as I have a small cnc macine so engraving the plate is no problem for me just like to be sure of the correct format. Steve D

I found mine on eBay looks pretty cool Steve D

I am made my own flexible pipes using parts from car builders solutions. This link should help they also have a video showing you how to make them up with their selection of fittings. https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/stainless-braided-flexible-ptfe-brake-hose-per-mtr Hope this helps Steve D

Thanks for the info, as I suspected a new exhaust would be best just there is so much out there its just knowing the best way to go. Steve D

Is the original 2B+ silencer supplied with my kit in 2004 okay for passing the IVA or do I need to modify / replace ??? I also have the 4 in to 1 pinto manifold which I think is okay. steve D

Thanks for all your views gents I think I will go for the engraved plate welded to the chassis Steve D

Thanks for the comment I read this statement but I think the relationship to the rear is misleading as I think it relates to locating on the off side of the car. I agree that my pic shows the middle of the beam but I can position the vin further across Steve D

Gents thanks for your responses. I think I will stamp the VIN number in the location I am showing in the photo as it will be very visible when the bonnet is off and the nose conetilts forward as it will be hinged. I think it pretty much meets the regs, do you agree I will of course also fit a plate on the firewall but that will be riveted on. Steve D
