Also avoid the clear weather shield... it broke in 2 months maybe sooner as it used to be a weekend toy and when i came to check the oil before a run it was broke. Saying that the blue one i have now hasnt even lasted a year.

Ah, okay thank you!

Ah! In the first few pictures of the GBs you had BWA Racing centre caps and I wondered why you didn't use the GB ones! I'm torn between 10" Mambas, Revolutions or GBs & those new numberplates look mint! Perfect balance between classic and legality.

In the first piccies they were the caps that came with the alloys. I picked up the GB caps at a show and replaced them

[Down&Out]

Update.

This is how Jynx looked over winter.

Take 2 old bumpers, weld two brackets on the rear one and you have.

Front Primed


Completed




This protected her brightwork and alloys from the salt.

Also changed to a metro 1.4 gta ecu to fix my running issues of maxing the cooper ecu.

My gauges gave up the ghost so i ordered new ones.













And wiring. All wires will be the same colour from factory









Changed back to nice chrome but....

[Jackman]

Apart from the weather caused a problem... the wind slammed the garage door closed and hit the bumper i was cleaning up no damage to that but that hit my mk1 tash and sent it flying and now thats dented

Why cant the £20 bumper have been damaged and left the expensive tash alone.



My rev counter arrived... from a different company but ive got it



This is how it will look.


Will have the vac gauge and the water temp there intead of those gauges.

Left to right for the lights.

Left indicator, lights (full), Brake warning, battery warning, oil pressure warning, electric fan, lights (front fogs, which im not having now), right indicator

Wiring has begun.

Started on the dash

The old dash



The last mile the clock will do.




Out, look at the mess



OOOPS i broke the gauge.



Careful


Get a image of the gauge


Change to differnt colour, needs a black needle.




Chrome ring.


Finished


Matches better than it did.


How the 3 centre ones will be.


An idea of the new gauge locations... two other gauges in the middle one above the other.



On a downside i think i broke the vac gauge... bent the fancy bit in the back, moved it back but i think it maybe out of calibration now

I decided on the GBs should be at my house soonish.. but what happened to your GBs?

& the new gauges look spot on, don't fancy doing that wiring though

[Heather&Henrietta]

Looks good so far

Nothing happened to my GB's apart from having no tread and winter coming so i took them off and went to the 12's for winter. Now back on the 10's with some more sticky tyres

Wirings no problem... actually its going to be one of the easiest things to do with the dash.
