It's supposed to stop the fog light coming back on after you've switch the light off then switched them back on again,

This mean you don't drive with your fog lights on when not needed.

But if it will pass your way that's what I'll do.

Thanks Robin

Hi all,

I'm just getting back to working on my 2b after a couple of years inactivity, I'm trying to get the rear fog light to work as per Iva regs,I brought an easilatch but I'm not quite sure what connects to what.

Has anyone else used one of these and can point me in the right direction.

Instructions say :- orange permanent +12v to yellow on easilatch (your existing on/off"latching switch

Red +12v dc to easilatch.

Brown latched +12v output to bulb ( grey/yellow)

Black to earth.

Hi All

Thanks Robin

Hi all

I've just put my cylinder head back on with new bolts but need to remove it again do I need to use new bolts again when I replace it or should the other be ok. I haven't run the engine yet so only tightened to first stage. Also I've got a 32/34 DTML weber carb has any one got a picture of where the pipes go to on the front and back

many thanks Robin

Just followed a H reg sierra saphire 1.8 on the back of a breakers lorry. Tempted to go and see how much they want for it in the morning.

Robin

Hi I found the only way to get the sprocket off was to modify as set of pullers with an angle grinder, took some time but got there in the end, Best of luck

Hi Graham

Yes I have 12v to the coil and it's a carb model ' So I'm still baffled is there any way of testing the ecu.

cheers Robin

Hi all

I don't normally ask many questions as I've usually found answers in other post. I've got a DOHC engine in my 2B it has always started fine, but now I getting near the end of the build it's decided it doesn't want to start any more. I cant seem to get a spark . I've changed the coil, distributor, rotor arm, HT leads and plugs as well as checking all the wiring. has any one got any ideas.

Many thanks

Robin

Hi all does anyone know where I can get some cheapish short 3 point seatbelt harnesses ? ,I have been looking on fleabay of a while now and did buy a pair but they are to long.

cheers Robin

I've got an early 2b,The seat belt mounts are on the back of a round chassis beam not yet tested do you think this will pass.

Hi all

Would an aero style filler cap from a motorbike be usable as for cars new caps for cars seem to very expensive but bike ones not so, sorry to hi jack this topic but I can,t seem to get the new topic board to work.

Robin

I have a slidding pillar car ( not on the road yet) I was wondering what poundage the springs are and wether it is worth getting some new ones until I can afford to have a conversion

cheers Robin

It just rained in sunny Eastbourne,but at least the gritters were out.

I have race seats in my 2b it's quite a tight fit and if you use runners there isn't much backwards and fowards movement and they have to be modified a bit.

The widest part at the front of the seat is 50cm narrowing to 40cm at the back.

Hope this helps.

Robin

Wouldn't it be good if GBS made a slidding pillock conversion kit I'm sure they would sell a lot.

I would buy one if the price was right

Hi all

has anyone used Mamba seats from Midland wheels if so are they any good if not which seats would be advised as I'm on a tight budget.

Thanks Robin

Thanks for all the help, I've accepted an offer for some Robin Hood ones which I'll fit for now and once I get the car on the road and have more funds I'll see about getting some better ones made up.

Robin

Hi has anyone got a pair of windscreen supports they don't need and want to sell. Yet another bit missing from a 90% complete part build ( 90% incomplete the ad should have said)

Thank Robin

Hi Mitch

If you get about 9mm shaved off the fly wheel you can fit a type 9 gearbox to a dohc engine ,There's a lot of other alterations you need to do (pedal box , alternator, exhaust) it's easier to stick with a pinto.

Robin

Thanks for the pictures Graham, It's good to see a slidding pillock pass the sva it gives anyone who's still building one a boost to get on and finish.

Robin

Well done Graham.

Could you post some pictures of front suspension to show how you made it ok for sva.

thanks

Robin

Hi Jim

I'am looking for the whole system hopefully. Been in the trying to modify exhaust system that came with the kit i brought as a part build. But I'm not very good with the welder but I'll keep trying.

Are you looking for a silencer, or a manifold? you need to make it clear.

Hi

Can anyone tell me where I can get a cheap exhaust system for my 2b (on a tight budget) Fitted with dohc engine. I'm hopeing to start the engine in the next couple of weeks. Have tried RHSC but failed to get a reply yet.

Thanks Robin

Eastbourne airshow is a really good free event all the top planes display over the sea. Went down on Friday for 4 hours bit cold in the wind but skies cleared just in time for the red arrow display.

Robin

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with slidding pillock problems, I've got the videos but there's no mention of the top hats on them. E-mailed Robin Hood to see if they could supply any never had any reply. Think I might try and covert to wishbones,watching Bills website to see how he gets on.
