Hi, The bolt on chassis and the deluxe chassis now have upper seatbelt mounts that will be IVA compliant. In terms of strength, then the chassis are similar as when you add the sub chassis to rhe floor then ot really strengthens it up. In my opinion then the deluxe chassis makes for easier fitting o...

Few More updates on things that I have completed: 1. Sorted the vacuum pump problem that I had at the front of the car with the pump running every few seconds by replacing the non return valve, it still kicks in a few times when it starts up, but it soon settles down...easy fix, all be it it is a bi...

A small update, made some progress on the dashboard recessed area where the modern electronics will go (DAB Radio and hands-free Phone controller Heater Controller, USB Ports, MAP Switch & remote connector for Emerald ECU to allow for easy mapping from inside the car. I still have a bit of filli...

This is one of the inconsistencies between IVA and MOT. It is not a requirement for the IVA ti have self cancell8ng indicators, however when you go for your first MOT 3 years after you pass the IVA the you will fail on not having self cancelling indicators. Wheres the logic in that, but to answer yo...

Quick Update on electrics, the switch-on has happened and bar a few minor problems pretty much everything worked first time. Here are the problems most of which have been highlighted by the electrics working... Fuel Gauge Mismatch with Sender - installed a gauge matcher from car Builder Solutions an...

Hi Adam, Would be great to see a picture of your dash as I'm not sure I've seen one yet, and the three gauges sounds kind of neat. I have mounted my 3 gauges underneath in a pod on mine but I guess the centre mount looks balanced, and keeps the dash lines cleaner. I have also been thinking about the...

Love the mirrors you have on yours and could be tempted, but are these going to be IVA friendly, or will you have to do something else for IVA and then put these beauties back afterwards

Right, have a much bigger list now of all of the things I need to do, but its a bit messy on a Blog, so I will just list the progress I have made. Wiring The Wiring is nearly done now and Stuart of SR auto electrics has done a great job of making and installing a bespoke loom, but it has taken some ...

OK So lots of progress since the car came home partly helped by the fact I was made redundant and between looking for a new job then there has been some time to spend on the car...so an update to my list and some new photos.... 1. Make Bracket & fit Temporary Rear Fog / Reversing Light - Complet...

Hi, Speedster clinic chassis has a top seat belt mounting point included in the speedster clinic chassis that you can bolt an extension plate too to get the top seat belt mounting in the right place for IVA. It will be a bit unsightly, but you could remove it after the IVA and then it would be an ov...

Hey Greg,

Stuart the Electrician came over on Saturday and I made a long list of additional Electrical bits I need to source, so Sunday night spent an hour or so sourcing all the oth...
