Martinnfb Posted April 24, 2021 Author Posted April 24, 2021 Solenoid was previously moved to Make room for the strut tower brace. It was ok since the battery was in the trunk , but now ? 1 2
Jeff Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 That cross brace, looks like old school Shelby stuff, very cool, and they really work stiffening up the body.. good stuff, buddy ! 2
Martinnfb Posted April 24, 2021 Author Posted April 24, 2021 So last night I had soooo much fun, tucking it back, slightly offset between the windshield fluid reservoir and the steel brace, totally safe 3
Martinnfb Posted April 24, 2021 Author Posted April 24, 2021 Look at this baby :), 130 A output, should be there out of factory 3
Bomber_County Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 It’s been awhile since I messed around on motors.......last one was to rebuild a Triumph GT6 Mk 3...... 3
Martinnfb Posted April 24, 2021 Author Posted April 24, 2021 Because if the size of the new alternator I had to modified the mounting bracket and tweak with it he wiring harness a bit. But she’s alive the difference in size is obvious small cut to increase clearance was necessary. naturally, I had to dress it up a little old hardware was cleaned and blued the New unit in its natural habitat wired in 3

Martinnfb Posted April 24, 2021 Author Posted April 24, 2021 I don't have to, Comrades at Ford are on it already 1 2
BlrwestSiR Posted April 24, 2021 Posted April 24, 2021 There's a company making a electric "crate motor" that will basically fit wherever an LS small block does. It even has the same mounting points. 3 1

Martinnfb Posted May 2, 2021 Author Posted May 2, 2021 Last night I spent by ripping the rubber sound deadening sticker out of the back. The glue residue is everywhere. Also I was able “finally “ to figure out the seat belt layout. Realizing that I’m missing a bunch of hardware I took off shopping this morning. here’s the trunk area before clean up and here is the same space with the rubber padding out and somewhat clean if the glue residue Now Time to secure the side panels , top headliner and I should bring off whatever if left of the roll cage 2

Apologies Martin, we are told that more is more when it comes to applying the Sika Mastic. Rather too much than an inadequate coverage, especially when it's used in areas of water leakage. This factor also makes it especially difficult for assemblers when doing interiors, as it's really hard to get out of felts and carpets. We're not meant to think about the consequences of taking it out. S 2 1
Martinnfb Posted May 4, 2021 Author Posted May 4, 2021 I have to admit, you’re absolutely right. I put it there some eight years ago and now I’m paying the price. after few hours of grinding the rollcage leftovers I was able to wash it all off and install the rear bench that I got from a wrecker years back and put a new Corbeau upholstery on it. Looks ok. Spare wheel well was painted...... just because. 4
BlrwestSiR Posted May 4, 2021 Posted May 4, 2021 That's a lot of work Martin. Great results though so definitely worth it Carl 2
Martinnfb Posted May 5, 2021 Author Posted May 5, 2021 Thank you Carl, to be frank I hate this car. new console from LMR arrived today, so I can use the carboard box to pack up your Beaufighter. 4

GazzaS Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 I absolutely hate working on cars. But I do like looking. 6
Bomber_County Posted May 5, 2021 Posted May 5, 2021 Martin, I’d be careful with this car, the steering wheel is on the wrong side......good see a gear lever though....... 4
