Vents and spoiler could be 3d printed but Peter has hit the nail on the head, its a lot of money to cock up.

Re: New Excel model coming soon
I wonder how difficult it would be to convert to a pre 88 model ?

Re: Coolant Pressure Testing Kit
Cheers Richard. I seem to remember when I had that problem that it was the short rubber hose at the back of the water pump.

Re: DRLs, daylight running lights
Ive been driving mine quite a bit lately and it saves having to have the light pods up on a grotty day. Glad you like it.

Re: DRLs, daylight running lights
Something similar, saves cutting into any wires. When its parked no one knows they are there and I could remove them and no one would know they had been there.

DRLs, daylight running lights
Ive fitted some discreet ones. DRLs are on when the ignitions on but go off a soon as the lights are switched on. I used two led lights from carbuilder solutions https://www.carbuilder.com/uk/micro-28mm-white-front-marker-side-light-pair , a relay, some light duty wiring because led lights hardly us...

Re: Steering Rack Rebuild and Track Rod Replacement
I did mine a couple of years before Richard and its been fine so Im also curious how his was cos it was a pain to do. If the teflon pinion seals look ok leave them alone ( there be dragons !! ). Its usually only the piston seals that need sorting.

Re: New member - Excel SA
I had similar gel cracks etc when I pit the v8 in that needed remedial work to look like new after spraying, I then covered the area at most risk with heat reflective tape. That's been on about 6 or 7 years ago now and still looks good.
I'm enjoying the updates, keep em coming.

Re: Seat refurbishment
Have you checked the rubber diaphragm under the seat foam, they split. If its that the seat foam may be ok.

Re: Changing Clutch - the most awkward way?
Blimey, that sounds arkward. The engine can be separated from the gearbox and pulled out on a crane that you had out anyway, or, engine and gearbox together without touching the diff or prop.
