Steve - just my 'list' of things left to do for the SVA test on the 22nd......not an SVA issue as such....

Roger - done a couple of other bits....have a look see at some of earlier threads.....

do you machine that and then bend it or does it come out of a mill exactly like that ?

Oh, that reminds me, did you have dimensions on the vents?

They're similar to the cerb, and i'd definately be interested.

Hope it's all coming along well - not long to go!

Thought that may be the case.
How are you going to mark them as the SVA will require all controls and switches to be marked with their function?

Hi Clive....haven't weighed them yet but they're lighter than the original (basic 6082T6 Ali)!

Not quite sure I understand the question ref the switchgear though - have I missed something criticaleek As far as forward/rear throw goes the new lever clears everything in all gears inc reverse and falls nicely to hand........I've also changed out the complete linkage with one made from 7075T6 ali with a hard anodized finish inc all military spec UJ's - just need to machine up the rear linkage to the g/box.....currently using the original Ultima item.....the change appears to be super positive & super smooth....

How's your 'little' project coming along?

I think both Clive and I thought they were indicator stalks with the two of them in the picture.
Clive was then going to suggest that they may be too heavy and make you turn left and put the wipers on every time you go over a bump.
