Richard's J15 build diary Update June 18th new pics

[matt_gsxr]

maybe aerotech for the catches. http://www.aerocatch.com/

Nicely made, SVA'able, and good action. You can even get the locking ones (you don't need to lock them, it is optional).

Mine are the counter-sunk version, not shown very well here (the tear-drop thing at the back corner of the bonnet).


Noticed quite a few sets on car competing at LeMans, which made me smile.

Hi Rich

Try these people for electrical connectors http://www.simtekuk.co.uk . If you cannot find what you need on their web site give them a call. I paid them a visit when up north last month and they could not have been more helpful.

Hi Rich
How is the build going? Any new photos yet?
Where did you get your steering wheel boss from and does it include the serrated engagement for the steering wheel lock? I assume that is the easiest way to satisfy IVA requirements for an "immobiliser".

Hi David, got the boss on ebay!! Had to make an adapter plate up to fit the wheel to it.

Build is not going anywhere at the moment as I'm in Florida with my family!!

Cheers

Yep doing the Disney thing with the teenager!! Also going up to Daytona & hope to see a 12 hour at Sebring too.

As for the car, well, need to finish off the wiring but that's pretty much there now. Also need to fit a Raceline alternator kit as the standard belt won't go on with the new engine mounts. Exhaust after that at Simpson's then its test time!!

Cheers

Would certainly like to visit Daytona & Sebring, lucky you.

I am collecting my kit from Jeremy a week today so have been busy clearing out the garage and repainting the floor. Have the aim of bulding it for next year's sprint season but that may be a pipe dream. I would welcome the chance to pay you another visit sometime if convenient. Send me a PM when you return if it's a possibility.

Cheers
