Still need a mirror.............
This 3D Printer uses ABSplus™ modelling material, a production-grade thermoplastic that is durable enough to perform virtually the same as production parts. The scanner has a tolerance of +\- 0.05mm so accuracy should be exceptional.

Come on everybody, I need your help, 1 original complete mirror.....................
-

All,
I have access to a laser scanner and a 3D printer.
I wish to make some S1 original wing mirrors, however, I need an original mirror to laser scan.
Once we have the laser scan I can make as many as needed, we can also laser cut the glass and we'll figure out the mounting bracket etc.. once the CAD model is surfaced.
Who's interested, and who can let me borrow an original for a short space of time.
Freebies will be offered for helpful parties..............

You've probably got it better than it left the factory.
When mine was being sprayed we adjusted all the lines to correct them as they were really crappy.
However, make sure you check for any damage/twist in the verticals, are your door pins solid? any play?

The first thing I ever bought was a fire extinguisher.......................

OK, if buy these;
an these;
Does this complete what I would need?

A friend of mine is cranking his engine now and seeing no oil pressure just on the starter.
Are you sure this is OK?
-
I generally do the running in without the oil cooler in circuit for the first 500 miles or so..then refit the cooler to the circuit at the first oil change.Why run without the oil cooler?
-
All,
Does anyone have a start up procedure for a new engine installation?
Concerned mostly with the oil side, do I prefill the oil filter/cooler lines etc......
Crank it for 30 sec before start etc....?

I think the cam are std 104, I'll have to check.
The pistons were a slightly higher compression, these are the same pistons SJ use from Omega.

Just found my otter switch clip, fantastic!

Anyone know how high the chassis should be with engine and gearbox installed so it rolling?
I have 520mm front & 500mm rear, measures floor to top of central chassis member.
-
Yes, well mine did - where the wiring loom passes through.
So both sit on the transmission tunnel in the cockpit.
P.S Also the speedo cable?
-
I know the throttle cable, comes throught the rear bulk head in the centre above the chassis tunnel.
Does the choke cable come through the same hole?
-
9K-10K tops, plus you need to get rid of the nasty graphics.

Kenlowe do a 6", but I think it's big wonga.
Spoke to Steve at SJ last week, he put the fans on the front for a Florida car, did it to tidy installation.

What have you done? That was orange the last time I saw it!!! You've succumbed to the old adage that all Esprits have to be white - shame on you, orange is a fantastic colour and really suits a 70s Esprit (particularly with the green/tartan interior).
By the way, it does look good

Wife said she'd divorce me if it was Orange.

I'm currently restoring an S1, but who else? I'm lonely

It depends on your attitude to stopping.
I went here, small place, the guy knows what he doing and tests every thing together, he also did my calipers, not cheap.

I think were far enough from South Africa not to hear the explosion.
