Is that a group buy price or will that be the list price? I'm interested but don't want to commit yet. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I believe that'll be the off the shelf price some time in the future when they are sold from the T7 site. However, a commitment has been made to honor the order of the list in this first run of fifty or so heaters.

I heard from T7 today, all the brackets will be ready to collect from the CNC machinist next week and then a couple weeks for anodising. The longest item is going to be the spun cones as there are 4 operations involved: Machining of the tool, making the cones, machining the profile and finally anodising. Also going on in the background, one of the .de guys on here is going to test a LHD version. Havn't heard any more on the wiring but I'm sure our opinions on it have been noted.

This thread is starting to give me wood Buchos. I don't know what a spun cone is but if it takes four operations to create it then it's ideally suited for a VX. Everything I do on mine takes four operations to complete. 1: Identify the problem. 2: Buy another new part. 3: Mend what I've just broken trying to fix the original problem. 4: Slam the garage door and wander off to the pub muttering to myself.

At some point you will stand back and be proud to say 'I built that' , it's just a different way of building a new car... by replacing it bit by bit with better parts rather than buying all those parts in one go in a big kit

Are you nuts showing her this place, she'll find out what all this stuff really costs !!. Remember those Fez headlights you "bought on eBay for £50" wink... or those tyres you get really cheap because they don't have much tread pattern

I told her I joined because the VX community all bands together and shares parts so once you have bought the car there's nothing else to buy.....ever. Joking aside though, here's a good example of a "shake your head" moment I had tonight. The cars due an MOT on Saturday and I noticed one of the number plate lights wasn't working. On a "normal" car this wouldn't be too much of a problem but the scenario which played out went like this, Try to undo the screws holding the clear plastic lens on only to find one screw is missing and the lens is cracked and the only screw remaining crumbles when you try to undo it. I was however pushing fairly hard on the screw when the light dissapeared into the boot. Open the boot and pull back the carpet to find both light brackets have become unglued from the body and have been secured back on with layers of gaffer and masking tape. Replace the bulb and find it still doesn't work as there is a broken wire in the loom. Loop a new piece of wire from one light to the other so they both work and as I don't have any Tiger Seal to hand stick the buggers back in (after repairing the lens with sellotape)with more gaffer tape. Unbelievable. Why didn't someone repair it properly before ? It does work now though.

The gaffer and masking take were probably OEM Lotus factory fitment.

With no way of buying the OEM connectors it looks like we’re going to cut the original fan loom and fit a new connection as we thought. T7 will supply the inline butt crimps, outer sheath and shrinkwrap to do this. I didn't find this an issue with the prototype, it's only four wires and I'm glad a hunt for original connectors isn't going to add any delay.

I have a few wiring looms if anyone wants to buy them

['Buchos']

The parts for these are mostly ready except the cone as the supplier has let T7 down so these are a bit late. I think Adam will offer heaters from the middle of the month with plastic cones for those who can't wait. Now the sun is out I wanted to show what the heater blows like on cold. It's not the most scientific test, but the video below shows a bit of file paper attached to a window vent to give you an idea... https://youtu.be/cdydOrxXwWQ
