More updates! It's fair to say this project is back up and running
Mrs postman had visited me again this morning. In her delivery bag was this package from 4into1. They were brilliant to deal with and they were very helpful and responsive in getting me in to the right package for my needs (was originally looking at the Dyna 5ohm coils but was warned against them as I have clearance issue):
Replacement coils, 5k caps and a Pamco electronic ignition. I'd been in contact with Pete at Pamco and was impressed with his support, which seems to be backed up by those with them already. Very pleased to get the ignition parts crossed off the list. My original coils were so rough looking that I decided to replace them vs trying to get them to work.
Next up I thought I would try to finish off the subframe tray. I'd dropped in to my local fastener supply place on the way home to grab some more stainless hardware for the rec/reg and the RFID receiver. However the RFID receiver needed to be spaced away from the tray slightly.
I'd been having issues for ages now with the lathe and getting a good finish on the parts I'd been making. Today jogged me into remembering the importance of quality stock to turn. Poor finishes were gone as I dropped some Alu into the chuck and drilled and reduced it. It came out smooth and shiny and I was very impressed with how my 1946 lathe was making parts!
The plan was to make some 6mm spacers to place the RFID receiver in the right place and ensure the cable cleared the tray.
Parted off and ready to install:
Installed:
Unfortunately they didn't have any smaller M3 bolts so I will need to trim these down:
Liking the way it sits below the tray:
Done with new stainless hardware on the rec/reg too:
