Graham,

Looking good you are well ahead of me. I have loads of build photos but have not decided if I am going to use a blog site, web site or photobucket.

Keep posting the pictures.

Regards

Mark

Mower man I think you are right but I beleive its the knowledge and quality of answers that close the thread. Also more owners are meeting outside of this forum face to face or email in addition to this there's a lot of technical information and build photo's available on the net.

Nick I agree with you on a few occasions I feel the dare I say it 'the cold shoulder' when I mention a GBS Zero and not a RHE 2B. Almost like how some people have made comments about a Westfield builder. I suppose its up to us as individuals to improve this after all we are all like minded people and dived into this passion of building or driving our kit cars. Wives nagging, always in the garage always skint saving up for the next modification.

Regards to all owners.

Hi john,

I would like a set please. Not done the PM thing yet I will try to send you my address.

Kind regards

Mark

I am going to fit my seats directly to the lowered floor but include some large 40mm stainless steel washers to act as spreaders.

Any Zero readers that have passed IVA as NIck said photos appreciated.

Regards

Mark

Thank you I was looking for some of these, isn't ebay great.

Mark

The wife is not impressed I ventured into the garage (sneaked) on week day to measure the shaft. The extended shaft measures 79cm from end to end including UJ's measurement of extension excluding ends (i.e. bar length) 56cm.

Hope this helps.

Mark

Looking good. Keep posting pictures they will help with the pending GBS Zero build manual.

I am struggling for time.

Mark

No new build manual for the Zero - work in progress Richard is trying a few new things on the Zero. The fuel and brake line clips look really good.

Mark

Hi Doddy,

I pick up my Zero last week and the nose cone was slightly damage (thinning on gel coat so they are making another one. Call Richard he might sell the old one rather than throw it out.

Regards

Mark

Well it was a good day at GBS collecting the kit. Welcomed with a cup of coffee, Richard and crew was very helpful. In the workshop the mechanics answered a few questions about the build. They have not finished the new build manual yet - work in progress. Nose cone and one rear arch on back order due to the gel coat I'll pick them up at Stafford show.

All in the garage now - where do you store everything?

Be prepared for the bombardment of questions.

Do I start a blog, website or use photobucket?

Regards

Mark

I'll be there on Saturday in tintop. Pick up Zero tomorrow I garantee it will not be ready.....until December.....2011, 2012, 2013

At long last after many years of dreaming the day has come. On Wednesday I will be collecting my Zero 2468 kit with a few extra's- seats, stainless panels, lowered floor and powder coated chassis. No doubt I will see some other goodies in the showroom (don't tell the wife). My dad is going to travel 140 miles to my house then the 2 1/2 hour drive to GBS to help I think he is trying to gain a bit of his youth back!

at last....

Mark

Hi Craig,

I am going to use a old crossflow three main reasons it was in the donor vehicle, its cheap to maintain and easy to tune. So far I have not had any problems getting parts.

Its not necessarily speed or power I want but a enjoyable build, ability to cruise and meet other RHOCAR members.

Mark

I agree with the others ETB gauges are great and the team are very helpful. Ultimately its up to you and your imagination on dash design.

Regards

Mark

Jamie,

Looking really good I collect mine on Wednesday looks like I need to buy a lot more clamps and clekos. Anything else you can think off?

Regards

Mark

The site is looking really good. I have nothing but good comments about GBS, always helpful and flexible. I pick up my kit on 7th July and I am sure it will be a good day.

Mark

Graham,

Looking good I wish my garage was a big as yours. I will use these picture as reference when I pick the kit up next month.

Let me know when you post more.

Regards

Mark

Steve,

Looking good I pick my Zero up 2-3 weeks everything is clean, painted and ready to go. Getting excited....nervous.

One question did you use washers or tube on the diff spacers, can't see clearly from the photo?

Regards

Mark

Hi All,

Just about to order fuel lines, so many to choose from. Can you please advise in your opinion which type of fuel line I should use?

Plastic, Copper, Rubber, Stainless steel overbraid

Also what is the ideal gap between p clips?

Cheers

I think Ebay is great I was going to order some odds and sods for the car through CBS (good company) but then had a quick search on Ebay found a lot of bits and saved £58.

Always worth looking.

IT is not my strong point however the change looks good and the map is brilliant.

Good application great for planning convoys.

Same here good day out.

Finally oredered the Zero kit car Richard was very helpful and swapped some items around that I did not need, fingers crossed should be ready for collection mid-June.

The RHOCAR stand was friendly as ever great brew! - thanks Ian. Hopefully next year I'll be there in the car (time permitting).

Be prepared for the newbie build questions.

Not much help but they are the same as my drive shafts I took off a sierra a few weeks ago. As I owned the car for a 3 months and decided not to strip the CV joint just clean old greae out and replace the boot/gaiters from ebay (Stretch cv boot kit) comes with a grease pack. I did replace the wheel bearings.
