Hi Al, we have access to the gear but the IVA test means we can't use it. The daft thing is that after the test we can do pretty much what we like. As far as the dash is concerned anything that is more than 127mm from the centre of the steering wheel has to have rounded edges or be sunk in to a padded dash. Toggle switches are out altogether - it makes it impossible to recreate authentic replica dashes for things like Cobras and Jag e types. We do get a much easier test than people in many other countries though so we can't complain too much.

Thanks for the updates. They've now all been included in the first post of this thread. Spikehaus, car.mad, aerosam, David_17 and raceral, I've checked your links but could you check them aswell, I may have got some mixed-up. Remember ?? indicates information we don't have, if you know what it should be let me know and I'll add it. eSteve |
I clicked on my build diaries link and it took me to the webshots site where my photos are located, but it opened on the dashboard photo well into the build and not at the beginning of the build.
The link that follows my signature at the bottom of this post would take one to the beginning of my build.:) Al |
Mine is ok, apart from I did not provide details of the transmission, I am using
Ford Type 9 - Heavy Duty Close Ratio Box with Limited Slip Diff |
mine works fine, but I didn't add the gearbox, I'm using the original BMW donor's one. It's a Borg Warner box, that's all i know.

Will make another update in a day or so...

Sorry!
Thank you!! Although I hate to be nip picky Michael is with ael , god I do feel petty sorry :)
Many thanks Michael |
Not at all picky
Michael,
opps, sorry. You're not getting picky, you're quite right to point out the spelling mistake, especially in one’s name. I can't even say it was finger trouble as it was wrong in three places! A least I was consistently wrong! I have now corrected all three of them My surname has an unusual 'n' in the middle of it and it always annoys me when someone transcribes it incorrectly. Regards, |
change !! :P
hate to be a pain !! but i have changed my setup! :p
to!.... Engine: Vauxhall x25xe Gearbox: Omega mv6 box Many thanks! :) |
