In fact, the Saturn scuttle stretches about a third into the distance between TR9 and TR8. I made ally panels that sit firmly on those tubes, the scuttle is relatively easily removable and sits on top of it. There is some concealed space to organize wires etc. on.

It's been quite a long time since my last post. I have fabricated a new support for the diff, completed all of my fuel lines and installed my tank.

It's been on axle stands for a few weeks so at lunchtime I pushed it outside took some super unleaded from my lawnmower supply and attempted to see if it would run.

IT RUNS!!!!! I wasn't expecting it to sound like a Lancaster haha. A few niggles as the ecu wasn't earthed correctly but it now runs really nicely.

Now I need a radiator ans some brake hoses.

Well done David, its always a happy milestone when you get it running.

See if you can put some vid up on youtube.

Andy

Progress
 

I have managed to link up my hydraulic clutch to the slave cylinder and it appears to work! I have used the same principle as skov to replace the clutch switch from being mechanically operated to using a hydraulic switch in the line.



I also recd my seats from kit parts in hull today.

Quite comfy but certainly snug!



David

Nice one David.
What's the clutch pedal feel like on yours?
Mine's a bit on the heavy/stiff side. I think I might have to change the master cylinder or make the pedal longer at some point...

Hi mine is alright. It's no harder than the one in my wife's golf gt. I am going to have a go with the multimeter later to see if the switch works with the pressure in the line.


I had the hose made by furore and they did a very good job. I am planning to have my brake hoses made there as well.
