What thickness?

I got hold of some 3mm but it maybe a little thick for my needs, tried to find
2mm but no luck.

The quaife arrived and I must say it's a work of art!!

Problem I think is the gauges I am using are not very deep, hence I don't have the issues u had with them hitting the heating ducts that are left behind in the dash.
However I don't mind how they are sitting at the moment.

The bracket is stepped, does the larger L shape go on the rhs?

I was wondering where this car had gone to? Met Dave over Coombe a few years ago when this was first on the scene. I was really surprised at how nice this car was in the flesh as I was expecting it to be knocked about from track use etc but it was awesome looking as well as performance.

HiDave

Replied to your pm

Car is going ok not done a great dealers to waiting for my brakes to turn up

I have fitted my gauges and brakes with naff discs, I have cleaned the car up inside and out, not done the turbo yet as bdm have been really poor at comming back to me so might use somebody else for the rebuild. I don't think bdm replace the seals when doing the hybrid as they want to charge me just as much for the rebuild as to make one a hybrid.

Took it out with road Tyres on he other week and decided that's a no no so going to look at the kumho track tire in hard compound as much better priced than r888 which are now 160 plus quid a corner.

Will get some new pcs up one day soon.

Oh and I also fitted a light weight heater which is so much nicer than no heat at all

Sorry for the mass of spelling mistakes I typed this on I phone with a beer in my hand lol happy new year

Just a little update to all

finally got around to taking the turbo off, jeezus there is a lot of play in the shaft, anyway thats of for a refurb right now.. Am amazed at the size of it though, its so powerful for such a small unit.

Got a new windscreen going in soon as the one fitted is cracked.

finally my disks turned up and they were worth the wait!!
