putting off for as long as possible eh???

good luck with it

 

I've done it mate i'll put some pics up in a bit.

 

Ok this is how I done it.

Step 1
Put some masking tape onto the bonnet and mark out where the pin should come out.



Step 2
Drill a hole for the pin,
hoping they match up.

Step 3
Hear it come's, cutting out the holes in the bonnet. It was ok once I got started, and it came out ok.



Step 4
The finish job all bolted into place, not to do the bolts up to tight don't want to crack the carbon.


It wasn't a bad job to do I was sh**ing myself to start with but it was ok. I'm going to buy some more to put on the boot, but that for another day.

 

looks good!!!

bet your ar$e was twitching drilling/cutting your bonnet!!

 

Yes mate it was twitching especially when I drilled the frist hole, after I had done one it other wasn't to bad. When I do the one's on the boot, when I buy them I won't worry about doing them it easy.

Had a parcel from RCM today, my new seals and pistons and some brake pads. For the brake claipers, it's all coming together now. Hopefully in the next couple of day i'll get the bearing pressed into the hubs and rebuild the brakes.

 

I managed today to get the bearing pressed in to the hub, by using a fly press. I also built the hubs up to. What an easy job, I like doing job like that.

 

I went to JTS yesterday what a great day, got a nice tan. I bought a few little bits while I was there. I got a magnetic sump plug and some D1 lightweight wheel nuts.


Can't fit the sump plug to I do my next oil change, I have fitted the wheel nuts tonight thou.
Before

After

The wheel nuts are half the weight of the standed one's I was shock I could'd belive it.

 

Loverly classic!

You were behind me going over the bridge at Silverstone (JTS) on sunday morning.

Ricey

 

Cheers mate.

 

I went to RCM on wednesday and bought a few bit, cooling panel in carbon and a battery clamp in black and some of there own brand anti roll bars. I have't got any picture of the ARB because they were at the powders coaters but they should be with me by monday.



I'm going to fit them today so i'll put pics up later of them fitted.

 

Ok I took of the rad brackets and they looked sh** so I clean them up first and painted them black.


Then I fitted the cooling panel with some nice S/S M6 bolts X2 and 1 S/S M6 nut.

I also fitted the battery clamp, only a 5min job.

 

Today I got the hubs bolted onto the wishbones.




Hopfully this week I'll get my brakes built up as I have all the parts now. Accept the discs which I'm waiting for from CDF.
Present from RCM new seals, pistons and brake pads.

 

car looked stonking the other night at the posers

 

They are due back to me Thursday ..... let me know if you was collecting or I was posting

 

I got the brake claipers built today.
Seals in and the pistons pushed in.

And the claipers bolted togther.



My advice to anyone that is thinking about rebuilding there claiper is do it youself it's easy, don't pay someone else to it for you. Trust Me, just try it.

 

I went to CDF Racing yesterday to pick up my new disc.
cdf racing
What an amazing he job done on the bells they look really good, I got in contact with chris a couple of week ago because I wanted some nice 2 piece disc for the alcon's. And he said "yeah I can do them, give me a couple of week and I'll get them done for you". So I waited and 2 weeks later he rang and said they are done. So I went over the water and pick them up.
Some pics





While I was there I got some whiteline alloy drop links

I'm not sure if they are the right ones thou. Because I have change my wishbones from steel to alloy ones. (Chris My fault I did'd tell you I have changed to alloy) If you could find out if they are right or not that would be good. Or if anyone else no's if there right or not to let me no cheers.
Once again thanks Chris. Your a top bloke.

 

you want the rose jointed drop links for those wishbones.

 

Mate, have you got a part number from them.

 

^ no sorry, they've been on the car over a year...they are just GC8 drop links for alloy wishbones, should be fairly easy to find in the whiteline catalogue

 

KLC38 is the correct part number. Well that the one on my receipt from Revolution, could scan the parts catalogue if necessary.

 

Cheers for the comments Kelvin . You have pm about the droplinks

 

Its all coming together today, I received the anti-rolls bars and new bushes today from RCM.



And got the calipers bolted onto the hubs.



I then went to fit the disc, but they were hiting the dust covers on the back.
I was like oh on what to do. Well I removed it and the disc went on fine.



All I need to now is fit the Anti-roll bars, i'll do that tomorrow. If I get time and my works floor is clear at the weekend it'll be time to bolt it all up.

 

Today I fitted up the anti-roll bar and the drop links. (which are right Cheers Chris CDF) Just a few pics.




It looks like it's going to be fitting on friday afternoon. Me and my mate doing it. Should be fun.

 

perhaps you can get away having non-adjustable links if you aren't running the roll centre adjustment kit...

 

Whys thats?

 

google is your friend

bumpsteer

 

Got it. I'll do some measuring when it all goes on. Got to get it four wheel align anyway.

 

Zak at Mocom set my wagon up and its fabulous

 

I've heard he's good at that.

 

he's transformed a few people rides...well worth a trip once you have everything together, especially being so close. tell him Ian sent you
