I tried that but the thin housing just didn't give me confidence that the sensor would stay in place.

I know what you mean, but the sensor i've got for my dash doesn't need lots of thread, i have pics somewhere.

Meticulous as ever but will be perfection once completed!
Can't believe that Ecosse has messed you around so much.

Any more news on the project?
Are you going to take her to any shows, or keep her locked up like usual?

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.

Good move Ed.... the ECU control on the fan is important... 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

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...

Thanks Mac.
This is my current set up. There are holes where the little adjustable rod on the linkage could maybe attach to.

It does look rough doesn't it. Longmans used something similar though.

Thank you. So from what I can see the levers on the bodies do look a bit different to mine.
