me and dad done mine on my drive way, its located down on the right of the engine and is a 10mm bolt, you gotta tight the cable then tighten the bolt iirc, then you can tighten the cable under the pedal too which is also 10mm i think, i watched him do it because i had no idea haha

I have 7" wide wellers with an offset of 0, I don't think they poke too much. Check out my Red L blog.
Thankyou mark

get a heat gun and a paint scraper you can do the whole car in half hour. i used some auto silicon sealent it worked really well. make sure you get all the holes tho, no one likes a damp patch on the carpet
People had mentioned heating, but chipping I find is a lot cleaner (less gunk stunk everywhere
) will grab some sealant and get them bunged, no worry about carpets in mine, they were binned ages ago
Ummm, poked a big hole in the coolant tank. So then i sat in it, had a smoke and listened to some tunes

WDID ?
temporary refitted the TD04 mani, so that i can fit an an expansion chamber where the yellow arrow is (to improve the sound)
and here,s a comparison pic of the TD04 and T15 turbines
and we stretched the holes of those audi s/s flanges too (with a mandrel) to give a more oval shape
hoping to get some s/s tube on wed, and bend the primaries into shape

fingers crossed for a nice tone
Fitted blue LEDs in the dash off the site recommended on here...forget the name of the UK site.
Anyway, it looks nice, hard to see the needles at night though, and my rev gauge has gone all mad. It seems to rev up okay, but settles back down to 1k, then 2k, then 3k, every time i rev until it's eventually up sitting at 5k. It'll stay there until I kill the ign, when it makes a ticking sound and go back down to zero.
Anyone know what might be the cause?

Take the cover off and see if its become loose on the spindle, if so stick it back on, the needle sits on a spindle which may be the ticking you're hearing as it clicks back to zero with gravity.

Weather's bad here too. I think it started spitting this morning.Think yourself very lucky

custom wooden gear knob mk2, alot better than the tiny mk1 which cracked and got replaced with [HASHTAG]#rare[/HASHTAG] japanese ting, proper chuffed with this! made from canadian maple with a purple rosewood ring on top, bolt in the bottom for the thread this time instead of just using the wood, sorted!

Uhhhh well that was lucky.
Decided put some allen bolts in the cam cover rather than those rusty phillips.
Took the cam cover off while I was at it to see if I could find the cause of the rough sound of my engine in the last few days(it's always had a small tap but this was rough).
Chain looks fine, cams are held in tight, checked clearances before.. Ahhh the cam sprocket bolt is very loose and the sprocket can be moved
Quite worrying that this was torqued up before too, guess I'll have to keep an eye on this one!

Yep tappy diesel hits the nail on the head!
Mine wasn't that bad but could have been if I had left it. Glad I put up with the snow to do it now

Thanks for spotting us
That is one fine looking hnob. I'm thinking of making a wooden knob also. Thinking of sticking a threaded brass or steel pipe in the middle of the wood to screw it on. Thought a bold would not be enough to hold the pressure if knob is long. Does it feel ok in your case?
Fitted some bucket seats and did some painting
havent got it yet, the bloke making it said need to leave it until weekend the let the glue settle and the varnish etc to dry, bolt should be enough i reckon!
suprised to scroll through this and see @SuperUno s beast!
