I´ve never hear about any such rules. This car is in sweden.

 

how much projection beyond rear bodywork , I was told 100mm is the limit 

 

[siztenboots]

I think it all comes under "Regulation No 26 of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UN/ECE) — Uniform provisions concerning the approval of vehicles with regard to their external projections"

I have bought a set of wheel bearings.

And too me they looks like they don´t have any surface coating at all?!

 

Also if I look at pictures of other brands they look like they are missing any surface coating.

And if they are uncoated, anyone here who have an idea how to protect them?

 

I thought a layer of zinkcoating and some spray color.

Better than nothing.

[Ormes]

ACF 50 periodically?

[vocky]

I painted mine black   

 

without some sort of paint they will just go rusty

Normal. They are made from very thick lumps of steel.

Yes they will (surface) rust and look bad but the function won't be affected. The bearings will wear out waaaay before any rust/corrosion will manage to weaken the steel

You could clean them, tape off any mating surfaces and moving parts and then apply a tough coating like POR15 or some epoxy based paint like a 2-part brake caliper paint (paint+hardener). Those should be resistant to any cleaning with brake-cleaner and rough treatment under the car.

 

Regular spray paint (unless using a 2K type) usually dissolves pretty quickly if hit with a strong solvent like brake cleaner so is not very suitable for this area.

 

Just make sure not to get any paint on the area where the bearing pack attaches to the upright and the same goes for the area and the bore on the upright where this slots together. These need metal-to-metal contact. You can apply a surface coat like ACF50 or Corrosion-Block which won't interfere with the fitment.

Bye, Arno.

For the bearings I will put a layer of Zinkcoat over them and after this I

will spray the nonmating surface with this paint, I´ll give it a try.

 

Also to get my horn to work. I thought if I´m fast oon the soldering iron

 

It might be possible to get some + voltage onto this pin?

 

More to come soon.

 

Br, Per

[Arno]

Yup.. You have to take the wire that used to go to the clock spring and runs to the horn relay and attach it to that spring-loaded brass/copper pin.

 

The horn button then connects to the wire on the inside of the hub via the contact ring and the steering column itself.

 

When pressed the horn button will connect the pin to the column, pulling it to ground, the relay gets activated and *beep* horn sounds

Hammerite is sh!te and it won't last even with careful undercoating (from experience on the VX). POR15 or a 2 part brake caliper paint is the way to go..

I missed this Arno, Any idea how to connect the wire to the copper pin? using a soldering iron or use some nuts?

I´ve been working on a splitter to match my rear wing.

I wanted the splitter to not sit to low, so I can use it as a daily and also wanted it a bit designed.

I bought a cheap wooden splitter last year but after I did this I changed my mind so now I´ve rebuilt it.

 

 

The design have been in my head for a long time, comes probably from a Honda S2000 aftermarket kit or so.  :-)

 

And I found some red stripes laying around.

 

I also made some (missing) brackets for my hardtop

so hopefully I get it fitted this year, at last.

Like the splitter Per

[Aerodynamic]

Thank you  :-)

I also mase this little stop to avoid trying to get into "7th gear"

And this have coused me miss shifts.

 

I hope to avoid it from now on.

Whats your red line on this engine please? Just interested, it must be pretty hectic when spinning fast.

[Aerodynamic]

Well the K24 is a long stroke Engine unlike the K20. K20 is 86 something and K24 is 99mm stroke.
I have my rev limit at 7800rpm. I could get to 8300 without any issue. But I am safeing.

Well Hectic. Im just watch the shiftlight. :-)

Work work work................

 

 Black and and a red stripe.

 

And some service, using Motul 300v 15w-50

Honda OEM oil filter and Honda Oil.

 

Alao trying to get the horn button to work and made this alu piece

to Contact the copper pin.

 

But should I just ground the black wire somewhere?

 

And now…..…….  more work.

Lets hope, sunday….

 

Br, Per

[Arno]

The black wire should already be ground and not be needed in this setup.

 

If you touch the horn wire to the metal of the steering column it should go 'beep'

 

Wiring should be:

 

(permanent) 12V -> Relay coil IN -> Relay coil OUT -> steering column siding contact -> horn button -> ground

 

Ground usually is attached on a screw connection inside the collapsible boss base so it grounds via the central steering column shaft.

 

That should activate the coil and turn on the horn.

 

Bye, Arno.

[Aerodynamic]

Thanx Arno, good you knew the question was aimed for you. :-)

I also thought it should already be grounded. I think I ground it anyway. :-)
