Before the end of June I should have them on the car. I'll do the rack stops at that point, but then I have to take it all to bits to finish the chassis and pedal box and paint the bleeding thing. Not looking forward to that job at all.

Hi, Could I ask please how you managed to get your handbrake cables to clear the chassis at the caliper end?

I have these calipers.



The bracket holding the outer cable is shaped such that the cable has to turn a very tight turn to clear the chassis. and thats with the car sat at a normal ride height so the problem will get worse under compression.

I'm baffled!

You need to remove the bracket and bend it a little more in a vice, then shorten the bracket and redrill the mounting hole to bolt it to the calipers. Hope that makes sense. Oh and when you go for your IVA wind the spring collors up on the dampers to make sure they don't touch on the day, skovs, and stots thread have more details.

Not done much of late, had the car out a few times but have been distracted by the purchase of my holiday hire bike (cheap, comfy and fast) and the weather. Doing more miles on that than in the car, training for my first Audax event (long distance cycling).

I have been collecting parts for the 1.8 engine fitment. I currently have the new alloy 3 core rad and alloy header tank, need some waterless coolant, some plumbing bits, and a few other bits n bobs but probably going to be a winter project.
