WoW Ayjay

Thats some fantastic progress you,ve made , car is looking great :cool:

May I ask....are they the side repeaters or side reflectors fitted to your side panels ?
Reason I ask is come IVA time they may not be high enough for the rear vision check, I,ve heard that some cars have failed with them fitted to the side of the scuttle as the rear wings obscure the repeater , & yet some have passed :confused:

Looking great :cool:

cheers

Cheers guys.I've just been plugging away quietly in the background:)

I thought I'd stick those pics up to encourage others who may be flagging a little at the mo judging by the recent posts.
In other words--"If I can do it--- if you feel in a bit of a rut with your build then take heart"

The orange bits on the ali side panels are reflectors-- it seemed like a good idea the ind. repeaters will go on the side of the scuttle.
Its been a bit of a slog and sometimes its been one step forward and two steps back.ATM I cant get the brakes to bleed . i had a leaky master cyl. which filled the drivers side floor with fluid whie I was on holiday and stripped all my paint.:mad:
Then my battery leaked acid all over the scuttle and into the passenger footwell.:mad: The pic.shows no. 2 scuttle panel ready to re- fit all the electrics.

Anyway-- does anyone know if I can use any other ford m/cylinders to replace the sierra one without rerouting my pipes?

Looking good Ayjay, If we ever get any nice weather this year I should really get off my lazy ass and drive down to see your build. I had my Sierra master cylinder leak from the cap which also promptly ate all the paint off my pedal box & chassis rails :( I feel your pain!

About to order my suspenders:eek:

From reading earlier posts I think I need

4x 14"-9.5"

2x 8" front 350lb

2x 9"rear 250lb

AmI correct?--I dont want to get it wrong.I am on haynes book chassis with 1.8cvh engine sierra front hubs and sierra rear with drums.

I spoke to Rally design and was told 140/095/ B12.

However they said it was either blue or yellow springs:mad: because of the relevant rating:confused:

I was hoping for 1st choice black 2nd choice red

Hope this doesn't open a can of worms

Why not ring up Dampertech? That's what people used to do on here before Saturn started offering Protech shocks.
