Finally getting round to doing something i have been meaning to do for years.

details of what they are for later.

[nicklouse]

well as you may have seen i fitted the common a garden spring kit brackets but i was not too sure as they are designed to have the spring mounted between the uprights.

here is what i had on the car before. some very early Proto parts from Huddersfield Mini Spares (as he was back then)

so as you can see the long piece is just a spacer both end pieces fitted to allow clamping forces.

so todays job.

paint

[nicklouse]

opps forgot these

[nicklouse]

so back down to the garage and this is what it all adds up to. plus some other bits i did not cover.

had to get the wind machine on today.

 

sorting out some cables while having a bit of Macgyver on the screen

 

fitted a remote starting button as some of you might know starting a race engine when you are not sat in the seat can be a bit of a dance.

 

also finally got around to fitting the switchs i ordered last year from Wired by Wilson. currently it seems i only actually needed one.but i think i will have it sorted tomorrow with a single wipe as well as continuous wipe and park.

just need to apply what i put last time, had issues getting the motor to move this time.

 so motor is M8

control relay K30

ignition live BKVT (park function power

BU trigger and continuous running

 

relay to be replace by switches. 

 

main OFF/ON/ON as i do not want a live up front if not doing anything. (would be cut off by big switch anyway)

 

First On will activate BKVT wire and also go to a OFF/MOM switch to the BU wire to give a wipe and park.

 

Second ON  will give continuous wipe via the BU and park when turned off one click.

[nicklouse]

it works

main wiper switch top position all off. Mom will move wiper as long as it is held.
main wiper switch center park circuit "live" Mom will make a single wipe and park.
main Wiper switch bottom position wiper will work until center position where it will park.

now having see this backwards driving that Mater is rather good at i thought i would add a pair of mirrors.


one needed some manipulation to give the required angle.

[nicklouse]

tidied up the mirror mounting.

 

[nicklouse]

then there was carnage 

 after the proto type

needed more angle.

fitting tomorrow i think.

[nicklouse]

[Tupers]
