At Long Last.... Pistols 1.5 swap

[SySanguinary]

Thanks mate
My cable doesn't seem long enough, the cable reaches but the wire is a tad to short
Is that washers either side I the black bracket to hold the cable?

The washers were a make shift way of adjusting the slack in the cable. They were cut through to enable them to be used as shims.

Also I am missing the thing the 2nd recirc pipe connects to, what is it??

Sorry, not sure which bit you are refering to....

Sounds like you may have a few bits missing.

[pistol pete]

Pretty pleasse

[pistol pete]

wanted to have done more but the weather has not really been in my favour


but today was clear so managed to finish the boot today, quite pleased,

yes I know the battery should be under bonnet etc, but I would like at least one usable space are in the car so using the boot for everything then can use under bonnet, if I do find it causes an issue I will move it later on

I started to do the gear linkages today, but really struggling with them, that's gonna take some head scratching(and phone calls), and a spring clip I have lost

drive shafts also now have boots on and just need putting on the car, alternator belt and heat shield, exhaust on and she's ready to go...

[Magic Beans]

thanks mate.. I am sure its not as perfect as this pics suggest.. but its my first time doing it and im enjoying it

Looking good Pete. As for the battery in the boot... that's what I did. It meant I had enough space in the front to carry all the tools I needed. Just in case!
