1/4 turn fasteners

[spanishfly]

At the front? I got the DZUS on the sides.

[lee303]

2 at the sides, one on the front in the middle on the lower bar, it locates on the Xmember too to keep it level

[spanishfly]

May have to look into that. Was thinking recess and tape over it so it's not pointy out.

PM sent

[corsakid]

good work mate be nice to see this running again soon

[spanishfly]

So has an hour to burn, so I decided to go play with the Nova while it was dry.

Fitted new washer jets. Halfords twin jet mofos! They bolt in. Beautiful!


Then fitted a sticker.


Then onto wiring up my speedo sensor and pulse convertor.




I need to sort the wiring behind the clocks once its all wired up. Theres a few gremlins to sort on that front, I know it's gonna be something silly, but when I put lights on the wipers come on lmao

[Kev_G]

cracking work Rob hope its back out soon, cant help but LOVE the yellow cover to

[spanishfly]

Cheers mate

more excellent sticker work i see the wiring problem will be at the switch, be an easy fix when you get your meter out mate...

[William]

hi mate

Yeah thats what i'm thinking. I actually think I already know what it is. On the standard stuff the wiper and light system gets the same main live. On AX it has only 4 wires instead of 5, I've used the live instead of the other.

hi mate

Hi mate

Ordered loads more bits. Looking forward to fitting them

[spanishfly]

Few hours to spare this morning. So went and played with the nova.
Made most of the fuel hoses and need to make a bracket for the 044 to hold it there. Got a to get some more hose as annoyingly the bit I have left is about half a metre to short










I mounted up my alternator using the SBD kit. Nice


I then fitted the rear number plate.



I also found my wiring gremlin, so that side of things is sorted! I've also fitted the standard XE beiges until I get it mapped to the VXR injectors.
Aerocatches just arrived too, so job for next week!

[corsakid]

good work close to being able to run it?

[spanishfly]

[lee303]
