Can't believe that Ecosse has messed you around so much.

Are you going to take her to any shows, or keep her locked up like usual?
#605: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 11:21 am ---- Well these turned up yesterday. Only took eight weeks....Will order a new coolant reservoir and heater hose next week and put it all back together.
Might buy a proper Jenvey throttle linkage soon too because the throttle bodies reach their stop before the pedal does so it's possible to put a lot of pressure on the throttle splindles which isn't desirable and can twist them.
Next year or over the winter (maybe this summer - depending on lead time on custom radiators) I'll buy the shorter radiator, integrated fan and longer trumpets etc. I'll be getting the standard fan wired to the Omex this summer though to maintain reliability.

I have mine in line and its set wrong by a couple of degrees I think.... fan comes in as soon as I am stationary and doesnt really go off even when moving... need to plug the laptop in and sort it. The Jenvey linkage is very good BTW
#607: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 12:51 pm ---- Is the linkage adjustable to allow for the cable pull of various throttle pedals? I'm trying to work out if the levers on my bodies will need changing. How is the Jenvey cable held on the pedal or linkage as surely only one end has the barrel end thing...
#608: Re: Project sleeper Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 1:13 pm ---- will get you a picture in the morning mate
#609: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 14, 2011 2:32 pm ---- Thanks Mac.
This is my current set up. There are holes where the little adjustable rod on the linkage could maybe attach to.

#611: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Apr 15, 2011 1:40 am ---- It does look rough doesn't it. Longmans used something similar though.
#612: Re: Project sleeper Author: kingdom200, Location: Leamington SpaPosted: Fri Apr 15, 2011 3:40 am ---- i love this project..... good work edward
#613: Re: Project sleeper Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Fri Apr 15, 2011 1:41 pm ---- here you go mate
#614: Re: Project sleeper Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Fri Apr 15, 2011 3:52 pm ---- Thank you. So from what I can see the levers on the bodies do look a bit different to mine.
#615: Re: Project sleeper Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sat Apr 16, 2011 12:29 am ---- hard to get a close up really but this is a bit closer
