Thanks man.

Not much of an update as I've been tackling the rewiring but here's a few pics of where I've got to.

Lots of this tape has been used


Drivers side from this



To this





Just waiting for my Rivnut tool and some alloy Pclips to arrive to secure the loom to the inner wing.

Passenger side from this



To this



Then









I have a couple more wires to solder then I can tape it all up and secure to the body which I hope to do on Friday night.

These also turned up but haven't even bothered opening the box yet as I want to sent the springs off to be powder coated as you will have seen in the above images.

KMAC Adjustable Top Mounts.


Awaiting some VibraTechnics engine mounts to arrive and the cars booked in for engine bay and front end respray in April.

Excellent.

Hi, i wonder if you could help me out?

When you ran the 323mm brembos under the porsche alloys I noticed you had 35mm spacers.. would you say 25mm spacers would allow them to fit?

Cheers!

To be honest Tom I can't remember how much space there was. I think it would be ok but don't want to be held accountable for you buying the wrong size adapters.

MrBlobby off here bought the wheels and brakes so maybe you can ask him to confirm clearances?

Thanks for the reply! Did you find the braking effect a lot better than 312's?

Moved the Evap solenoid to the rear and extended the loom for it to help clear up the clutter in the bay.

Disconnected it from here and pulled the white tube out from the bay



Then connected the solenoid



Then ran line up to the bay how I wanted it.







I do then plum in a 1way valve and T piece to run to the throttle body but forgot to take pics.

Also received my VT engine mounts so put them in just for the sake of it.









Received my KMAC top mounts. Only fitted one side so far.





Finished the wiring on the passenger side but forgot to take most recent pics. But here are a few during.





Fuses new home



Fitted the BBS on the rear





Next time I go down the garage Ill take a better camera as the quality of these pics is shocking.

Top work as always.
