Drove down today to drop off some more bits! I hadn't seen the car in the flesh for about 2 months and i have to say Phil has done an absolutely outstanding job with this!!!:bow:

 

It looks like a car again and Phil has put in many hours of work!!

 

Some more updated photo's and a couple of questions.

 

1. The 1 piece prop where it goes into the gearbox (2nd Picture) Does this look normal as we think it could go in further? It is an Inland Empire one if anyone else is using this as well. Just need to know if this looks normal?

 

2. Wiring for the neutral and reverse switches. Which of the plugs do you use to wire in a neutral switch? There are 3, which i tried to photo, we think it is the one in the single photo but would like clarification and exactly which pins it wires into. He has run wiring from the neutral switch to the engine bay.

Few more piccies!

Looks great, very tidy. :cool:

 

re: prop - No, thats not normal ! my 1piece goes in all the way.

 

I've always wired in the neutral switch either at the gearbox end, or at the relay under the drivers wheelarch lining.

With the prop, does it look like it is too short, perhaps for a 2 seater? Do you have a spacer on at the diff end to lengthen it at all?

Yes, too short, I reckon thats for a SWB. SWB prop is 12cm (4.7") shorter than LWB Prop.

 

I have a Z1 prop, but I have also fitted an AMZ prop to another Z. Neither had spacers, the difference in length was all down to the shaft length and rear U.J differences (TT & NA are different).

Cheers Legrath, looks like i have been sent the wrong one then. Will get it measured on Monday and try to get another one.

Its looking good Baz, is that the Strosek car you were stripping?

Yes mate, its ready for the oil and water to go into it and get it started! Driveshaft is going to cause a problem now though! I also need to sort out a 2.5" pipe diameter, set of tailpipes to get it running and a few other bits and bobs!

I got some tail pipes in the for sale section, would have to check pipe diameter though.

 

Paul

I had a look at them, can you also check what diameter the actual tailpipe is as well? It wont fit if over 3.5".

The pipe is 2.5" and the tailpipe is 4.5".

 

Paul

I thought it looked quite big! 4.5" wont fit through the bumper unfortunately. Cheers anyway.

Bazz, I've got a 4.5" hole saw you can borrow, lol.
