I used glass so it will stay nice , have used plastic ones in the past , so called un-scratchable and they end up looking crap , these are a bit heavier but you cant have it all

excellent stuff... All said and done I think you should have budgeted a little more for the steering wheel though.

I love that little loop on the throttle pedal to allow you to pull the throttle shut, I assume in the event of cable/spring failure.

Ian, quick question. I notice you have the bias adjuster in there, the tilton pedal box also has multiple m/c's. would you not adjust the bias f/r via the pedal box rather than through the bias valve ? |
Surely the point of a bias valve is to allow adjustment of the balance whilst on the move. Not easy to do on the pedals!

yes the bulk of the adjustment will be done through the pedal box , I put the AP one in next to the seat for fine adjustments so I can get the braking ballance perfect , as I'm also using 4 pots on the back the pedal box might not give me enough adjustment

Looks superb. I love the new digital display in particular.
Once again, my ignorance is only demonstrated by my complete lack of ability to do anything like this myself!

are u sure the side exit zorst is legal?
my boss runs an escort cosworth and had our mechanic make a side exit exhaust for it and it was awesome spitting flames on boost etc but after the first rally of the season he was disqualified and ordered to remove it before the next stage 
not sure wot group he was in, possibly grp A i think or N
but all that asside the project looks awe inspiring

Hey Ian,
I live in Co.Laois, you'll pass by a town called Portlaoise on your way to Cork from Dublin, i live about 7 miles from there. I'll try and arrange a couple of us to meet up with you somewhere on the way to Cork or when you're on the way back to Dublin. How long are you stating in Ireland for?
Grand slam or not i'm sure we'll find something to celebrate lol
By the way what are you gonna be driving?

Yes the rods are Pauter , I got the rods and pistons from the states , they put down that they had modded my rods and pistons so there was only a small fee showing on the customs docs , with the strong £ they cost me £850 delivered for both !!
They are very good quality
