MarineIguana Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Next week the cab is going to be setup at Grove garage near me but means I can't drive it till then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarineIguana Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Got wiring loom clips today and fitted a few got some left to do at bulkhead end when cab comes back from ford fair, Also fitted a new stay grommet and holder as I snapped my holder and the old grommet was yuck Also got some hoods for my gauges as they are hard to see in the day and reflect up at screen at night making it difficult to see out the screen but they look like traffic lights now so made the colours red, yellow and green lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarineIguana Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Dials are good but thinking about changing the whole set and rev counter, speedo, fuel and temp gauges for a custom build later in the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarineIguana Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Stupid moldy old car Think my alternator has done this damage to my bottom water pipe Can't find a replacement only Samco ones So a more permanent bodge is needed now So that and the slipping clutch and other things just one thing after another as soon as I fix one another will pop up without fail.

gingergman Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 just like mine mate, fix one thing, happy days, then a new problem starts right after you fix the first! dunno if they would be the same but ive got a few water hoses from MFI and EFI engines, non turbo tho, dont mind sending you one if there the same, just cover postage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarineIguana Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Cool you got one that looks like mine Would be very much appreciated as at the moment I have made a super bodge out of it now with some plumbing, Tiger seal and jubilee clips I'll get a pic of it tomorrow it's awesome just waiting for it to cure and then pressure test it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
