hovis16s rallye (pic heavy)

[hovis16]

So as the passenger seat finally arrived I managed to get in in along with my new seat belts 


After a lot of checking measurement I managed to also get the lap belts mount point in the correct and a comfortable position, both mounted with spreader plates and popped and extra nylon nut on the inner one time bend hooks.




Still need to get some padding to pop between the seatbelt cross section so they don't move in the case of and impact.

And with that all done all I needed was to fit the new carbon refurbed knob,


driving position is soooooooooooooooooo much better a lot more comfortable and looks way cooler, so with that I decided to take her with me on a couple days off to Cornwall...…………………..Epic roads ended in epic issues popping up. first one was the fuel pump decided on several occasion not to prime what so ever when we stopped a few times, this resulted in the car not starting correctly on several occasions. When the pump did prime it almost sounded like my belly when hug over after drinking far to Much rum so I binned it.


the second thing was a odd high pitch squeal and a banging from the back end passenger side every now and then, sometimes this also happened under heavy breaking...….checked everything you can think of and still no idea what the banging is, As for the squealing managed to find that the centre section can hit the headshield due to being a pattern part cat so...……….bought one off Thugpugging.

Then turned attention to the front as I was getting a clicking and knocking under load up the very steep Cornish roads. As the clutch had never been amazing on the Rallye since the leaking crankseal  I was sure that this was one of the issues which sure enough it seems to be the case but to add insult to injury is seem she has shat herself again 

:angry s**t repair results in a second failure of the cup section


Hopefully should get this resolved as soon as, part from that I ordered some B Pillar vinyls with a twist a new bearing for my quickshift and new clutch and cable.

the struggle continues

---

Seems some of the bits turned up quicker than expected.


Bye bye wobbly 8 yeah old bearing

Refitted and adjusted to stop it tapping the heatshield in 3rd and 5th.

Also after seeing Tom fit some standard B Pillar vinyl's I decided to fit some non standard looking ones :o the car is far from standard now to be fair





Hopefully the weather holds up or I can get hold of the easy up to tackle the clutch next:thumbsup
