I like the spiral wrap idea looks neat and saves any sharp edges on the cable tie ends.
Lovely build and your almost there, keep pushing

Well after 18 months of spending every hour I had spare in the garage or in bed not able to sleep thinking about the next bracket to make, the day finally came when she was to leave the garage for a test drive!
Me and my dad got it loaded on the trailer Then off down my mates at Roger Clarke Motorsport, there on the end of an industrial estate, Started off with a few steady runs up and down to see how she went, everything was perfect, just kept going up and down to get the brakes bedded in etc, Kept pulling in and checking everything looked alright Then set the brake bias up, just made sure it locked the fronts up first The electric reverse worked sweet, but didn't last long as the motor pushed its self away, need to re mesh it then put a pin through I think Also the big reverse gear on the prop was just rubbing on the aluminium side pannel, so need to swage that out a little Next took it round the corner to my mates mot garage and he check the emissions, bit to high so just mapped it out with the power commander. Next up, drop it on the rollers and check the speedo was working ok as it was a bit glitchy driving up and down |

The speedo was dropping out at 50mph, so luckily I had already made a wider pickup, swapped it over and perfect! Ran it up to 100mph and all sweet, well happy with that as it would of been a fail come IVA time, Next was program the gear position on the digi dash, just a case of driving through the gears and telling it which gears which, but it's so much easier to figure the gears out with the number on the dash All in all a brilliant first run out, I couldn't of wished for better really, just got the sort the reverse out really and she will be ready for the IVA test in two weeks time |
