andy665 Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Few more jobs ticked off the list at the weekend New seats arrived from Intatrim (custom designed to my spec), as did the new FIA approved Scroth harnesses. As the harnesses came with all new fixing bolts and eyelets I obviously wanted these fitted - problem number one the left hand side passenger eyelet cannot be removed without removing the rollbar. Rather than seeing this as a problem I took it as an opportunity to remove it, clean it, paint it and tidy up all the fixing bolts which were a bit grubby. As the rollbar removal meant removal of rear wheels it made sense to have a check of everything and clean anything that was looking a bit dirty Old seats out saw the opportunity to repaint and tidy up the interior (pictures make paint look patchy - its not, just were its still drying) New seats fitted and as I went for heated bases and backrests I took the plunge and wired them in (electrics are not my strong point) - following instructions and thinking logically about the cabling means its all neat and tidy (wiring running in transmission tunnel and two position switches neatly integrated (I think) in the dashboard As the Stack display had a few issues this had been sent off for a full stripdown and repair, I requested that the white face be replaced with black as I think its more in keeping with the rest of the car 4 Quote

The rev counter needle fell off - apparently with age and exposure to the sun hey become brittle. Decided to have it fully serviced rather than just repaired, new glass and the black face - should be good for a few more years now. 213 Performance made relieving me of £300+ almost pleasurable 1 Quote
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 17, 2017 Posted July 17, 2017 Plus, with it being a stepper motor design, on power up, they tend to do a needle sweep as they re-set themselves! Does mean a brittle needle can just break off when you turn the ignition on! 213 Performance are very good though, they really know their stuff and the customer service is excellent. Quote
