Sorting the suspension and wiring |
|
I received an email from Marc with the suspension reference settings. The lower wishbones are the reference points and they should be set with 3 threads showing past the locknut on the rodend. I've gone diagonally at the moment, the front passenger side has had all of the rodends changed to 3 threads showing top and bottom, I need to revisit the tops, probably screwing them all the way in as I have hardly any camber adjustment. With the camber bolt screwed all the way in I'm just touching 30 minutes negative camber which isn't enough. The tracking won't adjust enough either.
I've done the rear driver's side. This now has 1.2 degrees of negative camber which is what Marc has said to set it to.
I've done the basic additional wiring for the scuttle, all of the gauge lights are wired in, the starter is connected and the oil temp wire is routed to the dashboard. I've connected them into one of the loom plugs and modified the loom so that I can use it to connect the scuttle easily. There are a number of wires I'm not using so they've been removed from the loom, this will probably bite me in the backside later when I decide to go for a DD2 but I can cross that bridge as and when.
A thread on Locostbuilders had me thinking about harness mounting and the harness holes in the seat. I've routed them through the seat and got it into as close as final position as possible and I'm a bit worried. The harness is resting on the bottom of the harness hole. I believe that this then becomes the height of mounting and the seat isn't reinforced around that area. With me in the seat it does raise the harness slightly so maybe if I pad the seat up with a 10mm neoprene cushion it will squeeze me though.

Harnesses through the seat. I'm a bit concerned about the height of the harnesses on the rollbar. They rest on the seats which makes the seat the mounting reference for SVA and they're not very reinforced.
