Depends on how much needs painting. I had the 4 arches and nosecone on my 2B wrapped in 3M vinyl for around £200 including the material. It was probably 7 years ago and still looks pretty good. Ok it can't be touched in like paint but I think it's a good option on fibreglass which does flex and crack.

You don't need to prove it's fitted, if it's required for the test either it'll pass or fail when they do the emissions test. The IVA manual gives the exact emissions requirements depending on the age of the engine and how you plan of registering the car.

It's nearly that time again, the annual West Mids post Christmas meal. The date is Wednesday 29th January 2025. Same format as previous years and at our usual monthly venue The Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL https://maps.app.goo.gl/P7mBK68FBauW2q6C6 Be aware that the roads nearby can be busy due to all the pointless work for HS2 so make travel plans accordingly. To keep the table bills simple, most people normally opt for the carvery but other options are available: https://www.tobycarvery.co.uk/restaurants/midlands/stonebridgeislandmeriden/carverymenu#/ Meet up from 7PM onwards and aiming to eat around 7-30. I like to give the pub a rough headcount in a week or so and then give them a more exact number a few days before the event so if interested parties can pencil it in their diary and let me know as soon as possible please. Everyone welcome (including ladies and kids) and new members (or those thinking of joining) are especially welcome. ATTENDING Richard and Jackie

It'll be the last Wednesday of January, I'll post details nearer the time.

Basically fit belt, tension, the tighten cam pulleys.

After you fitted the belt or after you tensioned it?

Did you loosen the cam pulleys before you fitted the belt?

As title. Looking for a Duratec lowered sump, ideally a second hand one, I know where I can get a new one.

Drill a hole.

Why would you want to use something so thick (and heavy). Thinner metal rivetted on and sealed is perfectly adequate for IVA and normal use. You just need to reinforce the floor suitably around the seat mountings. This can be square plates and is described in the IVA manual but I personally prefer box or angle that's tied back in to the chassis rails.

Next Wednesday 27th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL. Generally they're trying to kick us out just after 930pm so if you're coming, don't leave it too late. Also, if you want to eat, book beforehand as they don't normally let people just rock up and eat. Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island. Everyone welcome. Last month I was a no show due to being delayed elsewhere, next week I'll be there.

I think they're dwg files so they're just drawn full size and don't have dimensions on them. They should convert directly so they can be laser cut or they could be plotted off full size to make paper templates.

Per forum rules, please put a price.

Colin Usher had the Autocad files for the panels on his website years ago. I don't think the site is accessible anymore but luckily I did save the files. autocad.zip

Apologies I didn't manage to attend tonight, I got waylaid and it ended up being too late to come over.
