Ok, time for a little update I think......
Been getting hassle with the wiring side of things hence the lack of updates for three months, just been doing bits and bob on it but its been putting me off, I'll be the first and last to admit I have no knowledge whatsoever with it so been hitting some snags. I was only relocating the mini fusebox and inline fuses to the inside and getting rid of some (I think!) unwanted previous wiring ends and doing a general tidy up then adding some new gauges to the dash, all in all a relativity simple thing to do - but not when I'm involved!
I think 90% of it is done so will try and get a vid of dash lights etc in the next few days, not of turn-key though as thats a couple of weeks away as theres still loads of loose ends to tie up and stuff to fit in space thats not really there
In the meantime been getting some bits and bob in as its getting near turn-key, got some running-in oil (mineral only)
And some general bits including a couple (well three actually) different size alternator belts......
The alternator is finally done, its been a bit of a nightmare but I've modified an existing bracket from the minitec frame so it now fits within the allspeed frame and works just as good
Got about 15mm between the meeting points of the belts and 10mm between belt and frame
Sorted!
Getting a bit packed that side
I'm still waiting on both the radiators as I've made a slight change to them, hopefully I can pick the main biggie one up tomorrow as the other one (smaller transit heater matrix one) is still being "messed around with" so with the main biggie one here plumbed in I should get closer to turn-key to bed the new rings in.......
For the second radiator I'm gonna be using a couple of these
They are off an aprilia rsv 1000, should be enough for the little transit heater matrix
Had some more bits come through like a crankcase breather can and filter and various other bits
The air filter ducting is pretty neat so should find its way out somehow
