I did think about making an 8 seater by stretching it out and adding another 3 rows of seats, but my garage isn't anywhere near long enough
I think I'll just have to set up a rota for who gets to go in Dad's sportscar while the rest are in Mum's bus. There were no end of arguments about who's turn it was in the MX5 before I got rid of it!

I spent ages trying to find some double clips for the fuel lines, then stumbled upon these little beauties:





They're designed for two 8mm pipes, and one 4.8mm pipe, which is perfect for running the fuel and rear brake lines down the tranny tunnel

Only problem is they weren't particularly cheap (~40p each), and I had to buy a hundred of the buggers!
...so I should have a few spare if anyone else wants to buy some off me

--------------------------------------------

EDIT: I've now sold all my surplus clips!
Here's the details if anyone wants them:

Manufacturer: Jetpress
Part# CAC446-NAT
Supplier: http://www.comdir.co.uk/

---------------------------------------------

Thanks Handy, not quite in the final countdown, but getting dangerously close now! She's due on Saturday, so could be any time

That clips the dogs danglers. I was thinking of tack welding some of this down the entire length of the tunnel prior to powder coating to save drilling the shite out of the chassis for cable and pipe clips it comes in loads of different widths.

Good find!

How would you like paying?
