Speaker adapters finally arrived today. :D

Image

One had a broken corner, so had to make a new piece and bond it in place. Will leave it to set before mounting the speakers.

Image

Also needed 5" speakers not 4" so exchanged them for these.

Image

Need to get some m4 screws tomorrow to mount the adapters to the parcel shelf supports. :)

I love your threads, there's no pretentious ponce, just passion and graft and you fairly throw yourself into these projects! Updates thick and fast! Keep it up son. 8-)

New camshaft and followers fitted, well happy......so much better. :D

Old followers, most are bevelled at the edges and one is badly dished.

Image

Camshaft is knackered, one lobe has worn right down!

Video, this is from initial warm up. Sound was amplified by the garage. Sounds really good in person. :)

Failed it's MOT today, horn decided not to work on test! :cry: :roll:

Will be fixed tomorrow, think it's blown a fuse.....as yesterday the isolation switch threw a hissy fit, flattened the battery, and lights etc were going crazy....so I went and took the cables off the switch and connected the main cables direct to the battery how it should be.

Just need to remove switch and fill the hole in the scuttle panel. :)

Got a few things to do, firstly I need the idle co2 setting. It's not rich enough so have to feather the throttle when in traffic etc.

Remove stupid switch from scuttle panel, fill hole, paint and blend in.

And all booked in for a custom longlife exhaust....Can't wait lol.

Video clip, sounds great on road. Quite when cruising and a nice rasp when you put your foot down. Loads more responsive now too. :D
