Stots Build Thread

Done my list now except the headlight aim and the front indicators.

Covered the exhaust clamp with heat wrap.



and tightened the handbrake cables on the calipers.



Course originally I checked these when the handbrake was on so the felt tight, with the hand brake off though it was obvious they were loose.

Still got next weekend to come up with some ideas for the indicators if the shrink wrap doesn't work. Headlight aim we can do at the retest.

Indicators possible Plan B. I thought the washer idea from the headlights might work here.





I will probably have to glue this on so plan C is a hybrid of one of these slightly smaller with shrink wrap holding it in place.

Ok so Plan A worked out perfectly.






When shrunk this is over 1mm thick so the radius is more like 3.5mm now.

Now that I have the heat shrink I think it would be/have been a good solution to the shock tops and even the headlight brackets too!

Clever that, I didn't know you could get heat shrink that big. Where did you get your track rod end covers from? Do you have a link?

Chris,

I got mine from furore. They were fairly cheap but I'm you you can buy them at screwfix as they are just electrical glands.

With the agm bodywork the front lower wishbones adjuster tube sticks out. I have bought 4 x 25mm silicone black end caps from ash hoses and they cover them nicely.

Yep I got them through Fururueuoore too but on ebay.

Just snip the tip off and they slide on nicely. The ones from Screw Fix come with all the gubbins you dont need.

Almost looks like they came that way.
