After all the concerns about the aluminium chassis my problem is with the rear hub carriers. bolts were tight so are the driveshafts too long and can I get replacements?

I like these. not sure if they would work? http://www.ringautomotive.co.uk/uk/products/Commercial/Lighting+Units/Forward+Lighting/RTM8014

Thanks Chris just what I need

thanks for the replies guys. like the look of the trs staps might give them a ring to see if they do longer versions as the ones i've looked at seem finish under the nose cone from were i could attach it.

Ok don't laugh. I'm going to do a second track day with my lightweight but the scrutineers said before I can go again I've to have Towing eyes in case I go into the gravel. Question is how to fit the front one to miss the nose or can i have a hoist strap thing that I could remove afterwards

Phew Just come across this and thought you had made a trailer tent out of a LightWeight

have fitted a 1.8 sivertop to my lightwieght (similar dimensions) the black plastic inlet manifold obstructs the steering shaft and the early ally manifold is too tall (had to raise the bonnet by 30mm). My ecu is from a 94 Mondeo as it doesnt have PATS and made the wiring easier. I'll try to find my wiring notes try this site http://www.fiestaturbo.com/forums/pin-out-on-deep-desk-dewy-vt183145/

I've have one in the shed that I used for my SVA. No horn any more as I've used it on the kit.Can get it to Basildon if its any help to you..

so the earth strap has the isolating switch in it. Seems a lot easier than i thought.

Drove the kit to work last Thursday, overcast morning so had headlights on.Go to go home at the end of the day and embarrassingly no battery juice left. I seem to have 4 options. 1, Have the lights switch off with the ignition. 2, a buzzer when key is removed (have this on indicators) 3, a timer to turn off the lights after a period of time. 4, don't use the car unless its very sunny your thoughts on the best solution.

I was going to reply but the other spam setting deleted the e-mail

Just to add My son & I had a great time meeting up with fellow hoddies old & new (and their beer). And will have to remember ear plugs next time to stop that cross wind making me deaf.

If you want to see a Lightwieght in the flesh I shall be at Stoneliegh over the weekend. Then you can deside if all the modifications you need to do is worth the investment. GDC is possiblely the best person to speak to.

1st drive today and I cant stop smiling even as the engine is down on power and the sump leaks like a sieve. Jobs to do when the weather not good.

Hi Graham Not sure what meets I'm doing this year,all abit in the air.Hope to see you and the rest at one of them. Untill I've taken the first drive going to leave my tag line as is!

Love mine to bits Comming out to play this year. Now I've finally finished the Zetec conversion, moved daughter, moved son twice and enforced holiday.

Putting a Zetec into the lightwieght and I'm using the loom from the engine donor (p reg escort 1.8)and need to find the wiring for the plug going to the fuse box/ignition. It has twelve pins in three rows of four. can anybody help.

Is God a Hoodie Pliers in the sky

Sure I've read somewhere that a cvh sump can be fitted on to a silvertop zetec. can't seem to find the artical now. question is do I need to do any mods to the cvh sump or the zetec pick up as the deep bowl section is at diffrent ends. need to sort the sump as the starter wont fit and I'm not that keen on grinding the zetec incase i go to far.

Sorry already been done

his site might help http://www.zetec-cat.co.uk/"]zetec-cat[/url]

Mine was built with a 1.8cvh. cvh seems down on power but still makes me smile when ever I drive it. Hope to install a zetec this winter. The cvh has the advantage of inlet & exhaust on the same side as the zetec and from reading posts on the conversion i'll need the starter and several other bits from the old engine to make it work.

Thanks Simon Managed to get a ecu and think i've squeezed the old manifold under the hood. thanks to every one who pm'd colin

Hi just bought a 1.8 zetec as a winter project for the lightwieght and would like to keep the injection side. Trying to keep this as low budjet as possable so I'm looking for a cheap early EEC-IV ecu and the later zetec inlet manifold which i belive is plastic as this is below the cam covers leaving more bonnet room. Thanks Colin.

thanks for the reply not zero but lightwieght same panels so need to invest in some bike carbs
