Posted Image

Ok so we would firstly need to get an original spoiler. Im gonna try to get the Swiss race team owner to send an original to Graham at T6.
This will reduce the production costs. Now 15 would be the smallest amount we could produce and Graham said that they would cost about £100 each.

Iam willing to take four so I have some spare and I'm thinking of bribing the original owner with One as a thank you for sending the original one over. I'm planning to cover the transport costs to and from the original owner so all thats needed now is To find out who else would potentially want one for about £100+ delivery. In total we would need to sell another 10 so please stick your name down and I'm going to start trying to negotiate with the original's owner. I really want to make this work out as I think it really belongs on the T6. As I'm sure you have noticed I will be loosing out (financially) alot on this so we can actually get it done. Fingers crossed.

Don't think I have asked this before, but I bought an unusual hard top at a show several months ago and would be interested to know when and who produced it. I have seen a couple of others on race cars over the years. It go's well with the SAH bonnet I have.

Cheers

Hmmm. I then tested the relay (engaging switch) which gave 12.66 on the multimeter... I tested the wire between the relay and solenoid and this gives the same reading...
The direct live feed gives 12.73... how can 0.07 volts make a difference?

Could the relay be faulty, or is my multimeter simply crap??]]> Thu, 26 May 2011 18:28:21 +0000 http://sideways-technologies.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/5431-is-the-relay-buggered/ Battery Relocation http://sideways-technologies.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/4445-battery-relocation/

This is the present condition

The rear valance is being replaced, and this seems like a good opportunity to rectify errors made in the past. The valance has not yet been permanently fitted, but is here for measuring.

SO THIS IS WHAT I NEED

What is the distance from the outer edge of the rear valance to where the roofline ends on the valance? Like this:

I need to put in a feed from the ignition switch to the alternator. I've located the cables I need around the back of the switch but unfortunatly someone has been there before me and stripped a short length of insulation and soldered in wires going to the radio. Even more unfortunate is the fact that they have also nicked the insulation between the soldered joint and the ignition switch. What should I do about this?

Is it okay to whack in a couple of bullet connectors and join them with one of these - REF DS on here?

Will this take the amps? Hopefully, if I can do it that way I can just pop another bullet connector on a wire and run it to the alternator? Would that work?]]> Mon, 09 Aug 2010 20:33:24 +0000 http://sideways-technologies.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/4448-wiring-questions/ More input requested, of a more esthetic nature http://sideways-technologies.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/2643-more-input-requested-of-a-more-esthetic-nature/ Sun, 08 Aug 2010 00:27:47 +0000 http://sideways-technologies.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/2643-more-input-requested-of-a-more-esthetic-nature/ GT6MK III rear quarter repairs http://sideways-technologies.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/2644-gt6mk-iii-rear-quarter-repairs/
I've started a frame off rebuild of my MK III and have found that I need to repair the lower portion of my rear quarter panels, below the bumper. Is there a supplier who sells the small replacement body panel for the MK III rear quarters? so far all I've found are the small panels intended for the MK I and II.

There appears to be kits already on the market.
The connection diagrams i have seen suggest the 'black boxes' are just relays or maybe some electronics?

As i do not want to re-invent the 'wheel', anybody have schematics? :P

I was thinking about signals from MAP/TPS & coil as more sophisticated? But probably a couple of relays is the way i will go. ;D

Now to replace it, what is the material of choice. I have called around and no wear in Northern Ontario can an early spitfire window be found. I called up a couple of local Auto glass places and they can cut a new window from safety glass using the old one as a template, or they can cut one from Plexiglass and one place will do Lexan.
