Hi Nick

cracking build, looks top notch

chhers Paul

made the decision to trailer the car to test centre

just dont have the cash for insurance & possible retest.

I only live 1.5 miles from the test centre so not missing much of a drive.

Hi Nick

A mate had his Tiger Cat fail at Newcastle as a secondary fixing was needed through the top ball joint mount(the bit the cycle wing brackets are welded to),

the pinch bolt isnt considered enough. The tester showed him a picture of a failed unit.

see my pic attached, the second fixing(dome head allan bolt) is to the right of the pinch bolt.

Hope that helps

Cheers Paul

thanks for replies

a few more bits sorted this weekend.

CO checked at 1.4%- IVA limit is 3.5%

exhaust noise checked at 98db, might chuck in another scubber just to be sure

secondary fixing for top ball joint mount(drilled & bolted)

many thanks to Steve(redspec) for help & guidance.

Main worry now is the brakes, they seem ok but dont really know how

good they are till there tested

cheers Paul

I have managed to get an early finish tomorrow so i`ll be there

I used 7 core trailer cable and took ages studying haynes manual

didnt trust old sierra wires & to tight to buy new loom

Cheers Paul

looks good

wish mine had the double rollover hoops

cheers Paul

PM sent Steve

to pass 1st time would be great as the £90 retest fee could be put to better use

Hi Andy

I just want to check emissions see what they are, do you have Michaels number?

Iam working lates next week but earlies w/c 4th if you want to nip over that week.

Cheers Paul

had IVA confirmed 12th Oct 9am

a few jobs left to do.

i will in the garage next weekend 2nd/3rd if anyone wants to come and take the p*55

offer wisdom etc.

also has anyone got an emissions tester that I could borrow

cheers Paul

tried with gas torch and it melts it

not bothered about plastic behind rivet as cant see it

just wanted to get rid of the snotty bits

cheers Paul

thx for replies

all panels are done with sikaflex so no probs

I was hoping for a liquid that would dissolve the plastic but not mark the ally

does anyone know how to remove the plastic film from ally panels after its been riveted.

previuos owner has done all the riveting without removing plastic and its leaving "snots" when I pull the plastic off.

tried cutting it off but it always leaves a scratch on the ally.

tried heat but just makes it more snotty.

Any ideas ???

Cheers Paul

Hi Bob

I have used the ford shifter and yes it needs to be narrowed.

I added some extra metal for strength from backend to halfway along

also moved the gearshift base back abit & rewelded it.

there are 2 lugs on the side of the bellhousing that need to be cut off.

hope this helps
