Cheers David, apprecaited! :) My "10pm" delivery yesterday has turned into Wednesday.. first time Prime has ever done that to me and I assume it's probably to do with the weather (even the bin lorry...

It's a pain, I'll have to borrow the crane the builders just used to winch new roof trusses up on the house down the road..

(Or take the callipers off per the manual - still a pain!)

I meant to say something like that - it highly depends on the 'free length' of your spring vs shocks.. on the GAZ shocks Dax supplied for my DeDion the fronts needed no compressors to assemble (just...

Re: the mill - I saw someone 3D print a plastic knee handle recently.. that's probably a safer choice for me and a lot less likely to knock out a tooth! ;)



Funny you should say that - I have...

That sounds about right - I guessed those heatshields were there to stop the turbos cooking the suspension and wiring, so they were probably hiding somewhere in that vicinity. I'll have another go...

Yep, TDV8 and that was my conclusion too - I'm not sure which "Turbo B" is (left or right) according to the IIDTool, but I figure both probably need some attention.. of course I started with the...

I had a look .. and decided against it. I prefer the Members Meeting to the Revival these days (less people) but I highly doubt that will go ahead (see: Glastonbury cancellation), and the Revival is...

He's a nice chap - we've chatted a few times about his build. I am slightly ashamed that he started his Daytona about eight years after I started my 427 and is well ahead of me already :lol:

If I...

That's a brilliant bit of automation!

The tool probably cost more than most of our cars ;) but if you're assembling thousands of engines a year, every little bit of time saved quickly adds up.

Not a problem for those of us with a DeDion .. the callipers end up at the top so the bleed nipple is never at the highest point (d'oh!) :lol:

I almost feel like you might be taking the wee, David :lol: if I was on schedule I'd have finished some time in 2014 in time for my mates 40th and our drive to Monaco. Fortunate for me, the drive to...

No need to change dentists, David ;) And in the end only cost me £70 as they did, well, nothing. Looked at them, offered me a filling (but couldn't guarantee it would last 12 months) or filing it...

There's a chap on Instagram building the Dax Coupe - I would suggest having a chat to him about his experiences and budget: https://www.instagram.com/_danbuilds/

Ah, that's even easier! :) I should probably get an inertia switch at least, given the combination of carb & electric fuel pump (and no other kind of shut-off besides the ignition key), and that...

Gotcha :) Forgive the (possibly) dumb question, but how did you wire it in? I'm trying to picture the circuit needed to trigger the buzzer when power is lost to the fuel pump - was it just a...

:lol: :lol:

Well, there's no use becoming an EU representative because apparently that doesn't count, so I think you're going to have to become a foreign national, David - ideally a country with...

Is that part of the inertia switch itself, or the way you wired it in? The buzzer does sound handy - then again, with my fuel pump the absence of the insanely loud buzzing of the pump might be a...

The latter works well in these parts, apparently.

I'm betting he belonged to another part of society, though.

Discos and their ilk do seem to wander like a drunk on their way home from the pub at the best of times, and likely even worse with the huge mud pluggers on, but even then I find it hard to believe...

Most of the requirements are about you not being a danger to other road/pavement users though .. not yourself! (Aside from seat belts and interior things)

Yeah that's a lot of power draw - I was planning for a 100A alternator on the Cobra and all I have is the heated windscreen (not often on, I'd imagine) and ePAS.. but I figured the ePAS is a 50A draw...

Neat little electric vac pump - what's the current draw like? It seems increasingly common for modern cars to use some kind of vac pump - at least PSA & BMW, anyway - rather than rely on intake...

Indeed - the only place I have any room is up front, where (especially in a standard chassis) there would be acres of room.. well, relatively speaking!

I once had a slight accident with a puddle of gearbox oil (driveshaft fell out of my old Renault 5 :lol: ) - the jumper I was wearing never did recover! I mean, I kept wearing it in the garage, but...

There's two of us with an FE in a Dax now .. well.. one and a half? Since mine isn't finished. I can certainly tell you that it's a tight fit. A very tight fit.



The bell housing - assuming you...
