It's only taken me 18 months, but I've finally worked out how to post pictures... Here are a few of my build where I have done things slightly differently. Hope they are of interest....!


Picture of spring return on throttle cable with end stops.


Uprated 11" Pacet fans.


Front tow hook and deflector for bottom of radiator.


Servo operated heater control valve. This allows electrically operated control rather than manual.


Inside passenger side pod. Control box for servo valve and change over panel to switch Motec ECU from display screen to on board PC. When connected to the PC, the ECU software allows you to tune everything via the on board touchscreen! :-) Extra air vent is to cool beer on way to Le Mans...


Inside drivers side pod. Battery Isolator.


Rear of drivers side pod.

Cheers, Mart

Hi DavrianMan,

What category are they on in the photobox website, I looked in the 'vehicles' section in the 'Public Albums' but couldn't find any reference to them. Does the content have to be validated by a Photobox administrator before allowing public access ?.

If you like you can email me the photos and I'll ftp them up onto a spare domain that I have and then email you the completed hyperlink code, all you then need to do is copy and paste the code straight into your post to make the pictures available to the forum.

Steve

Looks great! Keep up the good work and keep posting those photos. Next time, or if I modify, we'll relocate the heater control valve and go electronic.

Ken,
Martin and I got the servo from Vintage Air. Part # 50507 VUA
I installed mine in the passenger luggage comp, but I might move it into the engine this winter and then run the heater pipes under the luggage comp instead of through them, to try to get rid of some heat.

The servo heater valve makes it very easy if you want to run a potentiometer control on the dash board. I am using the control panels from a TVR Sagaris for the heater/aircon and lights/fogs etc. It would also be useful if you are thinking of climate control (like GTR Simon?).

I got the gear linkage chromed at a local plater. I think it cost around £60, but it looks so much better... I gave him the sphericals and UJ's so that he could grind down the linkage to allow for the thickness of the chrome plate. You could grind out the sphericals instead, but it would take a while....

BTW, If anyone wants a drawing of the tow hook, I have a CAD model that can be used by a waterjet cutter and manufacturing drawings...

Cheers,
Mart
